SUMMARY:The Third Sunday in Advent
DESCRIPTION:Advent is the first season of the church year\, beginning with the fourth Sunday before Christmas and continuing through the day before Christmas. The name is derived from a Latin word for “coming.” The season is a time of preparation and expectation for the coming celebration of our Lord’s nativity (the birth of Jesus Christ at Christmas)\, and for the final coming of Christ “in power and glory.” \nDuring Advent\, we traditionally light special Advent candles\, as symbols of our preparation for Christ’s coming. Every Sunday\, we light one of four candles\, each symbolizing one of the Sundays in Advent. The fifth candle is lit on Christmas Eve. \nThe candles come in three colors: purple\, pink and white. The purple candles symbolize repentance. The pink candle symbolizes joy. The central candle is called the Christ candle and is not lit until Christmas day. \n\nThe First Candle (The Candle of Prophecy/Hope) – The first candle is sometimes called the candle of prophecy because it symbolizes the promises the prophets delivered as messages from God; promises that foretold Christ’s birth. Others consider the candle to be a symbol of the hope we have in Christ and so it is called the Hope candle.\nThe Second Candle (The Candle of the Way) – The second candle shows that Christ is the Way. Christians are lost in sin and Christ is the Light sent into the world to show them the way out of darkness.\nThe Third Candle (The Candle of Joy) – The third (pink) candle indicates that the only lasting Joy to be found in life on earth is through Christ. All other joy is fleeting and does not last.\nThe Fourth Candle (The Candle of Peace) – The fourth candle reminds that Jesus comes to bring Peace to both the world and to people’s hearts. Without Christ\, there is no peace in this world.\nThe Fifth Candle (The Christ Candle or Christmas Candle) – The fifth candle represents Christ himself who is born to save people from their sins. It is a celebration of the fulfillment of prophecy as represented in Christ’s birth and the hope for the final fulfillment when Christ comes again and all Christians join him.\n\nCollect \nStir up your power\, O Lord\, and with great might come among us; and\, because we are sorely hindered by our sins\, let your bountiful grace and mercy speedily help and deliver us; through Jesus Christ our Lord\, to whom\, with you and the Holy Spirit\, be honor and glory\, now and for ever. Amen. \nAppointed Readings \n\nIsaiah 35:1-10\nJames 5:7-10\nMatthew 11:2-11\nPsalm 146:4-9\n\nWorship Services for the Third Sunday in Advent\n \nSunday 8am\, Sunday 10am \nAbout the image\n“Triumph of the Name of Jesus” by Giovanni Battista Gaulli circa 1672-1679.\nCeiling fresco in the nave of the Church of the Gesù in Rome with stucco figures. \nResources \nService Bulletin for today’s 10am Eucharist\nParking and Accessibility\nGive via Paypal or Credit Card
