Liturgy There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. We have walked and lived in darkness, but we have seen a great light… For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. The Wise Men and […]

Liturgy God, we are an Advent people, a people of hope. For us, Advent is a time of waiting, and so we wait.

Liturgy God, you raise your hand and gently begin the concerto of creation: birds carry the melody while stars keep the beat; mountains dance in merriment and children clap their hands with joy. Love’s Composer, our new songs are lifted to you. The old, old song is made new in our hearts: Christ is Risen! Sing Alleluia! You invite us […]
