FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT
Christ Church St. Augustin’s
Welcome to our worship today:
10.00 a.m. Holy Communion (Christ Church)
10.00 a.m. Holy Communion (St. Augustin’s)
No Evening Services at Christ Church or St. Augustin’s
This Sunday is Advent Sunday - the start of a four-week observation beginning on the fourth Sunday before
Christmas. Derived from the Latin word for arrival — “adventus” — for us it is an adventure! Advent is observed by Christian denominations worldwide to mark the start of the spiritual period of preparation for the celebration of Jesus’ birth on Christmas Day, and the beginning of a new Christian year. Christians start lighting their Advent wreaths. Each Sunday has a theme which can be 1. Faith, Hope, Joy, Love 2. Prophecy, Promise, Fulfilment, Faith or 3 .The Patriarchs, The Prophets, John the Baptist, The Virgin Mary. Have a good Advent.
Administration of the chalice has been re-introduced at both churches. The giving of Communion is at the altar rail.
N.B. Wafers must not be dipped into the chalice.
Gluten-free wafers are available – please let us know if you need these.
