Advent Candle Lighting: Fourth Sunday of Advent

Posted on by

On the first Sunday in Advent, we lit a candle for Hope.
On the second Sunday in Advent, we lit a candle for Peace.
Last Sunday, the third Sunday in Advent, we lit a candle for Joy.
Today we light a candle for Love.
As this flame begins to burn, O God,
let your love warm our hearts as Mary’s love welcomed the Christ child
into the world so long ago in Bethlehem.
Let your Spirit burn in our hearts;
let your Light shine in our world;
and as our Advent time of waiting for the baby Jesus’ birth comes to an end, let the Flame of Your Love warm the place where the Christ would be born today. Amen.

Special Service: When Christmas Hurts

Posted on by

Does Christmas Hurt?

Christmas time can be a difficult time of the year. Find hope and comfort in knowing that you are not alone.

“When Christmas Hurts” is a time when we can join with others in acknowledging the feelings of sadness that some folk have at Christmas time, along with the reasons for these feelings, and offer them to God.

In late December, we experience the shortest day and the longest night of the year.  This time has been called the “dark night of the soul”, “the winter of our discontent”, in which memories of past experiences and the pain of present experiences can become overwhelming.  For some, Christmas Day is most difficult; for others, Christmas Eve, or New Years Eve, or the beginning of another lonely New Year.

In this service, there will be some singing appropriate to the Christmas Season, recognizing that this is not a season of joy for everyone.  We will invite those in attendance to reflect on the pain, the loneliness, the sadness they may be feeling, and offer this to the Christ Child.  We pray that those attending this service will find hope and comfort in knowing that they are not alone.

“When Christmas Hurts”
December 18 at 4 pm

All are welcome to attend.

Advent Candle Lighting: Third Sunday of Advent

Posted on by

On the first Sunday in Advent, we lit a candle for Hope.
Last Sunday, the second Sunday in Advent, we lit a candle for Peace.
Today we light a candle for Joy.
As this flame begins to burn, O God,
let the Joy and the Wonder of your Child
sing in our hearts and let our voices share the song of the Angels –
the song of heaven on earth.
Let your Spirit sing in our hearts;
let your Song of Joy fill our world;
and as we wait through the Advent season for the baby Jesus’ birth,
let the glorious Angels lead us to the place
where the Christ would be born today.   Amen.
