Prichard, 1830 ADVENT 2020 3 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone. ISAIAH 9:2 his has been an unforgettable year. In 2020, our lives have been upended by COVID-19. Also, the divisions in our nation and our communities have Twidened. It is easy to be frustrated, fearful, and even angry. Yet in the midst of these uncertain and discouraging days, we are reminded that “the people who walked in darkness have seen a great light” (Isaiah 9:2). With the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, we celebrate that our Savior has come! Jesus brings light to our darkness and a message of hope to our troubled world. Yes, followers of Jesus are people of light and hope. In Christmas, we find the glorious good news of the Gospel and the love, joy, and peace that is ours, now and forever, in Christ. This Christmas season, I invite you to celebrate with us at Calvary. Use this weekly Advent guide to read and meditate on Holy Scripture as we focus on the coming of our Savior. And as the shepherds did long ago, invite others to come worship. May many experience this life-changing good news of love, joy, and peace. Warmly in Christ, John H. Munro SENIOR PASTOR His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

The Old Testament was written over a period of about 1500 years, but from Genesis 3:15 there is the promise of a Savior. In the progress of revelation, the prophecies of the coming Messiah become clearer and clearer. Read these prophecies and reflect on their fulfillment in Jesus the Christ! GENESIS 3:15 ISAIAH 7:14 The Promise of a Savior The Sign of Immanuel “I will put enmity between you and the woman, “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, and between your offspring and her offspring; the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call he shall bruise your head, his name Immanuel.” and you shall bruise his heel.” ADVENT 2020 7 ISAIAH 9:1–2, 6–7 ISAIAH 42:1–4 For to Us a Child Is Born The Lord’s Chosen Servant But there will be no gloom for her who was in anguish. Behold my servant, whom I uphold, In the former time he brought into contempt the land of my chosen, in whom my soul delights; Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time I have put my Spirit upon him; he has made glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond he will bring forth justice to the nations. the Jordan, Galilee of the nations. 2 He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice, 2 The people who walked in darkness or make it heard in the street; have seen a great light; 3 a bruised reed he will not break, those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench; on them has light shone… he will faithfully bring forth justice. 6 For to us a child is born, 4 He will not grow faint or be discouraged to us a son is given; till he has established justice in the earth; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and and the coastlands wait for his law. His name shall be called MICAH 5:2 Wonderful Counselor, The Ruler to Be Born in Bethlehem Mighty God, But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, Everlasting Father, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me Prince of Peace. one who is to be ruler in Israel, 7 Of the increase of his government and of peace whose coming forth is from of old, there will be no end, from ancient days. on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it ZECHARIAH 9:9 with justice and with righteousness The Coming King of Zion from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this. Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. 8 CHRISTMAS AT CALVARY ISAIAH 53 like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, He Was Pierced for Our Transgressions and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. Who has believed what he has heard from us? 8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away; And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? and as for his generation, who considered 2 For he grew up before him like a young plant, that he was cut off out of the land of the living, and like a root out of dry ground; stricken for the transgression of my people? he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, 9 And they made his grave with the wicked and no beauty that we should desire him. and with a rich man in his death, 3 He was despised and rejected by men, although he had done no violence, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and there was no deceit in his mouth. and as one from whom men hide their faces 10 Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 he has put him to grief; Surely he has borne our griefs when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; and carried our sorrows; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. 11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and yet we esteemed him stricken, be satisfied; smitten by God, and afflicted. by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions; make many to be accounted righteous, he was crushed for our iniquities; and he shall bear their iniquities. upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, 12 Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and with his wounds we are healed. and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; because he poured out his soul to death we have turned — every one — to his own way; and was numbered with the transgressors; and the Lord has laid on him yet he bore the sin of many, the iniquity of us all. and makes intercession for the transgressors. 7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; THINK ABOUT What Old Testament Scripture would Why did the Jewish nation Why do so many people today fail to you show to someone who believes the largely fail to see that Jesus see “Christ” in Christmas?

Little children love getting presents and all of the excitement of Christmas. As we get older, we love the Christmas memories we share, singing Christmas carols, family gatherings, and reaching out to those in need. We thank God for His amazing love and grace in sending Jesus, who loved us and gave Himself on the cross for us. Reflect on God’s love for you and your love for others, including the poor, the hungry, the marginalized. 1 JOHN 4:7–12 God Is Love world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and whoever loves has been born of God and knows and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one because God is love.

    GATHERED CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS AS A CHURCH FAMILY why not mix things up this Christmas? Here are some new ideas for how you might be family together as you celebrate Christmas as gathered church. However, it also pushes us to think about and be church family as we look outward to the world around us and ask God how can we bless, love and share what Christmas is all about with those he has placed in our lives. This is not a Christmas "performance", it is designed for the whole church family to participate- not just the children! We hope this helps you celebrate in a new way but also that it challenges, inspires and equips you to move beyond our boundaries and comfort zones this Christmas. Have a happy Christmas and blessed New Year! And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

  • Covid-19 Has Had an Impact on Our Country and on the World in Many Ways
    Covid-19 has had an impact on our country and on the world in many ways. Music Ministry is no exception! Our large groups of normally 10+ people per Mass in the choir loft at each Mass have not been possible due to social distancing. Sadly, there is no sign of things letting up anytime soon, and with Christmas right around the corner, adjustments to how we do Christmas are having to be made. Our small group of cantors will continue to lead the music through the end of the year, with no larger choirs or groups. This includes Christmas. There will be no choirs for any of the Christmas Masses this year, making this the first year in my 13+ year career that I have not had a choir at Christmas. We are still not using the hymnals, and this will also continue through the end of the year, and likely further. For Christmas, every Christmas Mass will have the same music, and a worship aid will be provided. These worship aids will not be re-useable and must be thrown away after each Mass. There will be no prelude music or Christmas carols at any of the Masses either this year. Christmas music will continue to be used on the feast of the Holy Family, and on Epiphany. Thank you for your understanding and your patience through these difficult times. Doug Stegeman, Music Director OF CI S is excited to announce the 40th Anniversary Pete Friends of Raffle. Your support of the raffle has futures for Cincinnati's neediest children.

RioFrio Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.law.vanderbilt.edu/jetlaw Part of the Law Commons Recommended Citation Juan C. RioFrio, The Right to Feast and Festivals, 23 Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment and Technology Law 567 (2021) Available at: https://scholarship.law.vanderbilt.edu/jetlaw/vol23/iss3/3 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by Scholarship@Vanderbilt Law. It has been accepted for inclusion in Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law by an authorized editor of Scholarship@Vanderbilt Law. For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Right to Feast and Festivals Juan Carlos Riofrio* ABSTRACT Festive behavior is a basic characteristic of human life, as evidenced from ancient times. Humans need to use ceremony and ritual in specific places and times to mark their triumphs, joys, and sorrows. However, some categories of individuals are harmed because they cannot celebrate the most important highlights of their lives through such festive feasts: prisoners, mariners at sea, soldiers on the frontlines, workers subject to the pressures of ungenerous employers, towns occupied by oppressive invaders, and impoverished individuals who cannot afford customary celebrations, among others. When feasts and festivals are restricted, societies lose well-being, communities lose identity, and individuals lose freedom of expression. This normative Article helps fill a gap in the legal literature, which overlooks feasts as a right based on reason, some constitutions, laws, and international human rights. This Article calls for formal recognition and robust and coherent protection of a general right to feast, in constitutional law and in the international framework of human rights.

    The Holy See BENEDICT XVI GENERAL AUDIENCE Paul VI Audience Hall Wednesday, 4 January 2012 [Video] Nativity of the Lord: Mystery of Joy and Light Dear Brothers and Sisters, I am glad to welcome you at this first General Audience of the New Year and I cordially offer all of you and your families my affectionate greetings. May God, who with the birth of Christ his Son imbued the whole world with joy, provide for deeds and days in his peace. We are in the liturgical Time of Christmas, which begins on the evening of 24 December with the Vigil Mass and ends with the celebration of the Baptism of the Lord. The span of days is short but full of celebrations and mysteries and it all takes place around the two great Solemnities of the Lord: Christmas and Epiphany. The very names of these two feasts indicate their respective traits. Christmas celebrates the historical event of Jesus’ Birth in Bethlehem. Epiphany, which came into being as a feast in the East, indicates an event but above all one aspect of the Mystery: God reveals himself in the human nature of Christ and this is the meaning of the Greek verb epiphaino, to make oneself visible. In this perspective, Epiphany calls to mind a whole series of events focused on the manifestation of the Lord: in a special way the adoration of the Magi, who recognize Jesus as the Messiah awaited, but also the Baptism in the River Jordan with its theophany — the voice of God from on high — and the miracle of the Wedding at Cana, as the first “sign” worked by Christ.

  • December 2020 Skywriter
    Skywriter 1850 Skyland Terrace From the Desk of Rev. Dr. Miguel Vélez Brookhaven, GA 30319 404-634-6209 [email protected] December, 2020 www.skylandumc.org Different but the Same Christmas will be different this year. I am sure you have heard this many times by now. There will not be large gatherings, family reunions, parties, or Christmas plays. There will not be the endless days of shopping in person in stores, community events commemorating the season or Christmas parades. Many of these events will be limited, if not cancelled altogether. So, will Christmas be cancelled this year? The short answer is no, but I will explain. Christmas has never been about any of these things that we do each year to celebrate it. The gift giving, the feasts, the parades, the plays and many other events are all designed to point to the real reason for the season, which is the birth of Jesus. The first recorded Christmas celebration was in Rome on December 25, 336. For the first three centuries, Jesus’ birth was not even celebrated in a big way. It was His baptism, His death and His resurrection that were at the center of the Christian faith. People began celebrating Christmas to help new converts replace pagan rituals and celebrations held around the winter solstice. Christmas, essentially, was a declaration of faith in Jesus as the Son of God, the Savior of the world and the only one worthy of praise and worship. It was a rejection of all other gods for the one true God. Symbols like candles, evergreens, wreaths, and even the mistletoe can trace their origins to pagan rituals that were transformed in meaning to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
