Advent-Christmastide 2015
Advent/Christmastide 2015-2016 Unless otherwise noted, all I John: Darkness & Light Scripture quotations are from The Holy Bible, English Standard Version® (ESV®), copyright © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. Publishers. Used by permission. All rights reserved. I John 1:5 In elementary school, we learn that ordinary light can be split up into many colors (seven, to be exact). All of these colors combine wonderfully to give us the full spectrum light we experience each day in the rays of the sun. Full spectrum light is full, complex, and rich. It brings life and flourishing everywhere it travels. Take it away, and the world would eventually be enshrouded in death. Each year as fall turns into winter and the days get progressively shorter, many of us begin to experience the toll that darkness takes upon us. Our mood sinks and we can find it harder to go about the daily tasks of life. We begin to long for the return of the healing light of the sun. Certain types of artificial light try to mimic what the sun can do, but they are, in the end, cheap and garish substitutes for the real thing. The biblical narrative tells a story of a world that was enveloped in darkness―a darkness of sin, prideful autonomy, and foolish efforts to create our own light. And, into this great darkness, God―the true Light―has come. Jesus is the Light that has come into our darkness. His light is full, complex and rich.

To Download a PDF Version of This Booklet
very year, we say Advent is a time of spiritual preparation Efor Christmas. But what needs to be prepared? If not the presents we’ll give or the food we’ll make to celebrate, what needs to be tended in the weeks before the holy day? It is our own sense of being. Advent, which means “beginning,” allows us time and space to nurture a fragile, new understanding of who we truly are, as tenderly as we would care for a new baby. The story of Mary and Joseph and the divine child born in a manger has resonated with us for 2,000 years because we feel ourselves to be part of it. Christmas represents the divine child born in each of us and the divine attributes we can develop as we learn to express our God nature in human form. The four Sundays of Advent proclaim aspects of that divine nature—hope and faith, peace, love, and joy. The weekday messages will guide you in contemplating the attributes of Spirit in you. Our booklet continues through the 12 days of Christmas, to Epiphany on January 6, with an exploration of your 12 divine powers. YOUR SUPPORT As this unusual year draws to a close, we are especially attuned MAKES A DIFFERENCE to its lessons and legacies. We hope this booklet reawakens in you a sense of oneness with God and a knowing of yourself as Generous donations from friends like you allow us to make holy too. Unity literature available to those most in need of spiritual encouragement.

Snow and Low Temperatures, December 2010
Snow and low temperatures, December 2010 From late November to Boxing Day 2010 the UK experienced two spells of severe winter weather with very low temperatures and significant snowfalls. The first of these spells lasted for two weeks from Thursday 25 November to Thursday 9 December and saw persistent easterly or north-easterly winds bringing bitterly cold air from northern Europe and Siberia, accompanied by snow. Eastern Scotland and north-east England saw the most persistent and heaviest snow, which accumulated to depths of 50 cm or more across the higher ground by the end of the spell. However, lower lying areas were also affected and the snow increasingly spread to other parts of the UK, so that by early December many areas of the UK were under lying snow. Temperatures struggled to rise above freezing during the day and there were very severe frosts at night. Temperatures widely fell below -10 °C on several nights and on occasion below -20 °C in northern Scotland. This spell of snow and freezing temperatures occurred unusually early in the winter, with the snowfalls judged as the most significant and widespread in late November and early December since late November 1965. The period from 9 to 15 December saw milder and quieter conditions with a gradual thaw of lying snow. However, a second spell of severe weather began on Thursday 16 December as very cold Arctic air pushed down across the UK from the north. Snow showers affected the north and west on Friday 17 December, while there was heavier snow across southern England and Wales on Saturday 18 December.

Christmastide Devotional
THE MISSION OF CHRISTMAS A Christmastide Devotional Advent/Christmastide 2020 THE MISSION OF CHRISTMAS A Christmastide Devotional Advent/Christmastide 2020 Hope Church 2609 Seminole Road Columbia, SC 29210 hopechurchcola.org If you were like me, I grew up believing that 25 December was the end of the Christmas season. However, according to the Church calendar, it’s twelve days long! When you stop to think about it (if you have that time) it makes sense. Why, after an entire month of longing and waiting and remembering, would we celebrate for one day and be done? I would hope our celebration, not only spills over into the twelve days of Christmastide but that the hope and joy of Christmas would never leave our hearts. As with the Advent Worship Guide, this devotional was never intended to replace any regular study of the Word, but to supplement and be an addition to your regular time with the Lord. Each of these devotionals were written out of hearts that love the Lord and desire that all hearts are His alone. The hope is that you are not only encouraged in your walk with the Lord by the testimonies and encouragement from dear brothers and sisters at Hope Church but that a ﬁre is stoked in your belly to go and tell. Go and tell your neighbor. Go and tell your friend. Go and tell the family member that you see only during the holidays. Go and tell! May this be our heartbeat. May we not be ashamed of the gospel! May we be compelled to tell everyone we meet that the King has come and He’s going to come back! He will right all the wrongs.

Pfingsten I Pentecost
HAVE GERMAN WILL TRAVEL Feie1iag PFINGSTEN I PENTECOST Pentecost is also the Greek name for Jewish Feast of Weeks (Shavuot), falling on the 50th day of Passover. It was during the Feast of Weeks that the first fruits of the grain harvest were presented (see Deuteronomy 16:9). New Testament references to Pentecost likely refer to the Jewish feast and not the Christian feast, which gradually developed during and after the Apostolic period. In the English speaking countries, Pentecost is also known as Whitsunday. The origin of this name is unclear, but may derive from the Old English word for "White Sunday," referring to the practice of baptizing converts clothed in white robes on the Sunday of Pentecost. In the English tradition, new converts were baptized on Easter, Pentecost, and All Saints Day, primarily for pragmatic purposes: people went to church these days. Alternatively, the name Whitsunday may have originally meant "Wisdom Sunday," since the Holy Spirit is traditionally viewed as the Wisdom of God, who bestows wisdom upon Christians at baptism. Pentecost (Ancient Greek: IlcvrrtKO<>Til [i\µtpa], Liturgical year Pentekoste [hemera}, "the fiftieth [day]") is the Greek Western name for the Feast of Weeks, a prominent feast in the calendar of ancient Israel celebrating the giving of the Law on Sinai. This feast is still celebrated in Judaism as • Advent Shavuot. Later, in the Christian liturgical year, it became • Christmastide a feast commemorating the descent of the Holy Spirit • Epiphanytide upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ • Ordinary Time (120 in all), as described in the Acts of the Apostles 2:1- • Septuagesima/Pre-Lent/Shrovetide 31.

February 2, 2020 St. Joseph Catholic Church, 7240 W. 57th St., Summit, Illinois The Presentation of the Lord Candlemas “On this day, the faithful take candles that they will use throughout the year in their homes to Mass to have them blessed. The candles symbolize Christ, who is this Light of the world.” Informes del Padre Bob El 2 de febrero es la Fiesta de la Presentación del Señor, también conocida como el Día de la Candelaria. Esta fiesta es un domingo de este año, por lo que celebraremos este misterio en la misa del domingo. El Día de la Candelaria es otro nombre para la fiesta de la Presentación del Señor. Cuarenta días después de su nacimiento, María y José llevaron a Jesús al Templo para los ritos de purificación y dedicación según lo prescrito por la Torá. La costumbre de celebrar la solemnidad de la Natividad de Nuestro Salvador mediante una fiesta de 40 días de duración se basa en el Evangelio mismo. En el momento del nacimiento de Jesús, la costumbre era que la madre de un niño lo presentara en el Templo cuarenta días después de su nacimiento, junto con un cordero y una paloma como sacrificio. En el Evangelio, leemos cómo después de un período de cuarenta días, la Santísima Virgen María fue al Templo para purificarse de acuerdo a la Ley Mosaica y como también de acuerdo con la Ley Mosaica, tanto la Santísima Madre como San José trajeron a Jesús al templo para ser presentado a Dios. El enfoque está en la consagración de Jesús a Dios.

The History and Meaning of Advent What Is Advent?
The History and Meaning of Advent What is Advent? Presented on November 26, 2017 The word ‘Advent’ is from the Latin ‘Adventus,’ which means ‘coming.’ Advent is the beginning of a new liturgical year (in the Western churches), and encompasses the span of time from the fourth Sunday before Christmas, until the Nativity of Our Lord is celebrated. The first Sunday of Advent is the Sunday nearest the feast of St. Andrew the Apostle (which is November 30th), and so it will always fall somewhere between November 27th at the earliest and December 3rd at the latest. The liturgical color for this season is purple (Usually a deep purple as opposed to the lighter, red-violet shade of purple associated with Lent). Like Lent, Advent is a preparatory season. It has significance because it is a season of looking forward and waiting for something greater; both for the annual celebration of the event of Christ’s birth, and for the time when Christ will come again. As noted in the New Catholic Encyclopedia, during Advent, the faithful are asked: • to prepare themselves worthily to celebrate the anniversary of the Lord’s coming into the world as the incarnate God of love, • thus to make their souls fitting abodes for the Redeemer coming in Holy Communion and through grace, and • thereby to make themselves ready for His final coming as judge, at death and at the end of the world. Origin and History of Advent The exact time when the season of Advent came to be celebrated is not precisely known.

Antonio's (Happy) Ending: Queer Closure in All-Male Twelfth Night
Antonio’s (Happy) Ending: Queer Closure in All-Male Twelfth Night Chad Allen Thomas t is more or less common knowledge, popularized by John Madden’s IfilmShakespeare in Love, that in Shakespeare’s time male actors played female roles because women were forbidden from appearing on the public stage. Young men (called “boy-actors”) played romantic ingénues, such as Juliet, whereas mature male actors played comic roles and older women, such as Juliet’s Nurse and Lady Capulet. Whatever the historical context, and whatever response these performances elicited from their original audiences, the tradition of the “transvestite stage” (male actors playing female roles) has helped make early modern plays by Shakespeare and his contemporaries compelling for scholars of early modern sexuality.1 Shortly after the start of the English Civil War in 1642, Parliament closed the theaters and banned public stage plays altogether; however, after the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, Charles II lifted the restriction against women on the public stage, and cross-gender casting quickly became more or less an antiquated practice in the professional theater. Certainly cross-gender casting remained common enough at all-boys and all-girls schools, and even resurfaced on the professional stage as part of British pantomime in the nineteenth century, but the practice was regarded mostly as a relic of days past. In fact, when Ben Greet directed a professional all-male production of As You Like It at the Central London YMCA in 1920—the first such production in 250 years—he explicitly sought to reconstruct the historical past by capitalizing on the premise of recuperating original stage practices.2 After Greet, the next professional all-male production of Shakespeare did not occur for another forty-seven years; however, it broke with Greet’s proposition that historical re-creation was the main reason to present 221 222 Comparative Drama an all-male production.

1 the Gift of Christ Pastor Tom December 24, 2017 Candlelight Service a Reading from Luke 2:8-20 in the New Commercialized V
1 The Gift of Christ Pastor Tom December 24, 2017 Candlelight Service A reading from Luke 2:8-20 in the New Commercialized Version of the New Testament. “And there were in the great country to the north, children keeping watch over their stockings by the fireplace. And Lo, Santa Claus came upon them and they were sore afraid. And Santa said unto them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people – who can afford them. For unto you will be given a great feast of turkey, dressing and cake; and many presents, wrapped in bright paper lying beneath a tree adorned with tinsel, colored balls and lights. And suddenly, there will be with you a multitude of relatives and friends, praising you and saying “Thank you so much for the gift. It was just what I wanted.” And it shall come to pass as the friends and relatives have gone away into their own homes, the parents shall say to one another, “Hmm, what a mess to clean up! I’m tired, let’s go to bed and pick it up tomorrow. Thank goodness Christmas only comes once a year! And they went with haste to their cold bed and found their desired rest.” Well it is Christmas Eve 2017. You have survived another season of busyness and frenzy so you can rest tomorrow and then get after the Boxing Day Deals on Tuesday. Yes, the Christmas season has become a multi billion dollar industry. But I don’t think the first Christmas was all this buying and wrapping.
