Wednesday Evening Prayer/Holy Eucharist during Advent

As we prepare during this Advent season for the coming of the Christ Child, we will be praying Evening Prayer as our Liturgy of the Word during our regular Wednesday evening celebration of the Holy Eucharist. This service, which is a bit more contemplative in nature, will include lighting of the altar candles and the candles of the Advent wreath, and will include, as usual, offerings of incense and the use of bells.

And as we usually do on Wednesday nights, we will be utilizing inclusive (non-gender-specific language) regarding God from Enriching Our Worship.

Fr. Jamie will, as usual, share a short homily often culled from Fr. John-Julian’s always entertaining Stars in a Dark World.

And, of course, we will gather at a local restaurant for supper afterward.

So, join us this Advent season for Evening Prayer and holy Eucharist as we prepare for the birth of the Christ Child at St. Stephen’s every Wednesday night beginning at 6:00 pm.
