Seasonal Message.

Adventus-Latin for arrived.

Advent is a time of preparation as we await the birth of Jesus;

  we prepare to welcome the Word made flesh,

  we prepare ourselves to see and to hear God in a new way,

  we prepare for a new way of being.

 

The long-standing Anglican tradition is to observe

   this season: to wait and to prepare.

We save Christmas carols for the Season of Christmas.

This Advent we use Eucharistic Prayer D from our Book of Common Prayer.  Prayer D is based on an old Syrian Christian Rite.

Blessings,

The Rev. Shawn Dickerson
