We welcome all people to worship and prayer, and to be with us on our journeys of faith formation; join us as we experience the Divine One through Creation, Creatures, and Creativity in our world and worship.
On this first Sunday of Advent we begin to consider the question, "How Can A Weary World Rejoice?" In the beginning of Luke's gospel we find Zechariah, a priest who brings his personal longings and the longings of his community to the Temple in prayer. An angel proclaims hopeful news, but his weariness keeps him from believing. Acknowledging our own weariness and the longings of our weary world, we'll seek a hope that lifts us from despair and opens us to joy.
Tim K. Murphy will lead us through this week’s hymns and diverse music selections from Valentin Sylvestrov & J. L. Nicodé. Music Director, Jeffrey Frederic Paul, will lead the ACC Choir in “Weary World Rejoice.” Jeffrey will also provide this week’s Offertory “Catinque de Noel (O Holy Night)” accompanied by Helen Paul on violin. Guest Musician, Dr. Laura Wiebe, will join Tim as Soprano Soloist for this week’s Postlude, “Stay Gentle.” Elena Caruthers will be this week’s liturgist & will light this week’s prayer candles. The Bolerjack family will light The Advent Candles.
