Sunday 2nd December - Advent Sunday

Sung Eucharist 11 a.m.

As we begin a new season we begin the Church's new year. We begin by looking forward. This Sunday's Gospel reading, from St. Luke as this will be the Year of Luke, we hear something with an echo of a fortnight ago. Luke 21:25 - 36 has a similar theme and feel to Mark 13: 1 - 8. But today's reading has a message of hope, “Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near”. Jesus tells us to, “be alert” as we look forward with expectation.

Sung Eucharist 11 a.m.

On this, the last Sunday of the Christian year, we always focus on Jesus' Kingship. Unlike Ascension Day, which also has Jesus' exalted majesty, the Gospel readings focus on the Passion and Crucifixion emphasising that the Kingdom is won by Jesus' obedience. This Sunday we hear part of the dialogue between Pilate and Jesus from St. John's Gospel. 

‘Pilate asked him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”

Sung Eucharist 11 a.m.

On these last Sundays of the year it is customary to hear Gospel readings taken from the period between the entry into Jerusalem and the Passion of Jesus. This Sunday we hear Jesus telling of the destruction of the Temple. “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left here upon another; all will be thrown down.”

The Eucharist will begin with two minutes’ silence.

“Christ did not enter a sanctuary made by human hands, a mere copy of the true one, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.”  Heb. 9:24
