High Mass (Advent III)
We will celebrate the Third Sunday in Advent (and anticipation of the Feast of St. Thomas (21 Dec)) with the Litany and a High Mass. Bishop Rasch is planning on celebrating and preaching. The Zoom service will continue for our remote congregants and those who are not yet ready to assume the risk of attending indoor services. The Budget Committee will meet after the Coffee Fellowship.
We will also celebrate the renewal of vows for Antoine and Shannon Shehata for their 20th Wedding Anniversary.
O God, who hast so consecrated the state of Matrimony that in it is represented the spiritual marriage and unity betwixt Christ and his Church; Look mercifully upon thy servants Tony and Shannon on this Anniversary that they may love, honour, and cherish each other, and so live together in faithfulness and patience, in wisdom and true godliness, that their home may be a haven of blessing and of peace; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit ever, on God, world without end. Amen.
We will be piloting a new sound system provided by EDC Acoustics, coordinated by the Shehatas. This new system should improve sound for both in person and remote attendees. Feedback is welcomed!
