• Today we celebrate Christmas

    O come, let us adore him; O come, let us adore him; O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord. Hymn 72 in the Episcopal Church Hymnal (1982)
  • Collect for the First Sunday of Advent

    Sunday, November 29th 2009

    Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and
    for ever. Amen.

    A collect is a short liturgical prayer, variable according to the day, the season of the church year, and the occasion. Collects for each Sunday are assigned according to the church year and are all listed in the Book of Common Prayer.
