Second Sunday of Advent
Last week I joined the school year 7 Leadership Camp at Living Springs. It was a great camp in a stunning setting. The students were full of life and sincerity as they wrestled with a deepening understanding of what being leaders in the school family means, both the privilege and the responsibility. I am really looking forward to spending time with them next year as they mature and deepen their understanding of what it means to live as disciples of Christ.
As I mentioned last Sunday the season of Advent, the season of waiting in Hope, Peace, Joy and Love is in opposition to the frenzy that the lead up to Christmas can easily be. It is a time of year in that the regular rhythm of prayer can be of particular importance. The following is quoted from our prayer book (p54) “From early in the history of the Church, Christians have developed forms of daily prayer and worship, centred on the regular reading of Scripture and the recital of the psalms. Such regular spiritual discipline is commended to all, and especially when it is possible for groups of Christians to meet together. Clergy in particular are expected to follow a personal spiritual discipline and to provide opportunities for other people to join in daily worship where possible.”
You are welcome to join Evening Prayer at 5pm weekdays here at St Mark’s in the St Anne’s chapel and via zoom for Thursdays and Fridays mornings as part of your personal rhythm of prayer.
God Bless you
