Here's a recap of Sunday's liturgy with scriptures, songs and other notable elements:
On this 3rd Sunday of Advent we sang verse 3 and chorus of O Come O Come Emmanuel, and light the candle of Joy.
Advent Reading Week 3: Joy
“The desert and the parched land will be glad;
the wilderness will rejoice and blossom.
Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom;
it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.
Strengthen the feeble hands,
steady the knees that give way;
say to those with fearful hearts,
‘Be strong, do not fear;
your God will come…’”
(Isaiah 35:1-2a, 3-4a)
Songs of Praise
Pass the Peace: May the Peace of Christ be with you.
(Send this blessing to the first person that pops into your head)
