A bright and blessed Advent-tide to all! Just a reminder that this Sunday’s service (9 December) will be the Tenth Annual Advent Service of Lessons and Carols. Bring a friend! As 8 December is the celebration of the Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, there will be a Rosary beginning at 9:15, with the Advent service beginning at 10:00.

Also, through 16 December, we collect donations of toiletries or similar small gifts for distribution to some of our neighbors in residential care facilities or in need. Please gift wrap the items and label them for a man or woman.

Almighty God, give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness, and put upon us the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which thy Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the quick and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal. Through him who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, now and ever. Amen.
