God Is Our Refuge

Picture
We have entered the Advent season, and the sanctuary looks a little different. There's a lot of blue in the sanctuary and an Advent Wreath has appeared. Our worship during Advent is slightly different, too.

On Sunday mornings at 10 a.m., we will sing the traditional "Lord have mercy," but instead of singing a hymn of praise, the children will lead us in lighting the candles of the Advent wreath, and Pastor will lead us all in praying that God stirs up the Holy Spirit in us and that Christ come soon. The hymns for the Advent season are some of the most beautiful and moving in our hymnal. With rich music and profound words, we sing about our deepest longings for God, God's coming kingdom and the joys of life in communion with our triune God.

On Saturday evenings at 5:30 p.m., we will worship using a spoken service of Evening Prayer with Holy Communion. This quiet service begins with a single light that symbolizes God's presence in our life through the one light, Jesus Christ. "Jesus Christ is the light of the world," we say. "The light no darkness can overcome." We receive Holy Communion each week on Saturdays during the Advent and the Christmas Season.

On Wednesday evenings at 7 p.m. we gather to worship and pray for the church, the world and all of God's creation using a sung service of evening prayer. This 30-minute service that features a meditation on the many ways God is our refuge in dark and troubling times, will serve as peaceful refuge for you in this busy season.
