First Sunday of Advent
It’s the First Sunday of Advent, the beginning of a new Church Year (Year B). Last Sunday, we ended the Year in praise, celebrating the Reign of Our Lord. Today, we begin the Year in hope, awaiting our Lord’s Second Coming, and his coming in greater fullness into our lives and our world.
We’re most blessed to share Holy Communion together, physically or spiritually, feeding by faith with thanksgiving on the One who laid down his life for us, so that we may have his life within us always.
When our Liturgy ends, the service begins, with a “Sending” forth into our beautiful Country and the whole wide world to share, in word and in deed, the love of God with joy, in the power of the Holy Spirit, in word and in deed.
Today’s Service of Holy Eucharist will be livestreamed on our main Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/stpaulscalgary) at 10:00 am.
