Liturgies

Our inclusive language liturgies set the structure and theme of Sunday morning worship. All liturgies are written by the Celebration Circle Mission Group.

Advent 2009 – Where is the Promise?

REFLECTION

She was five,

sure of the facts,

and recited them with slow solemnity

convinced every word

was revelation.

She said

they were so poor

they had only peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to eat

and they went a long way from home

without getting lost. The lady rode

a donkey, the man walked and the baby

This Holy Longing

See, the home* of God is among mortals. The Holy One will dwell* with them; they will be God’s peoples,* and God’s own self will be with them and will wipe every tear from their eyes.

Revelation 21:3

Maundy Thursday

Welcome to this service of remembrance.  Tonight we will be together as Jesus was with the disciples on his last night.  We will begin with the servant ritual of foot washing that Jesus offered the disciples, and continue with a simple meal.

Advent 2008 – Promises, Promises

[We] must be men and women of ceaseless hope, because only tomorrow can today’s human and Christian promise be realized; and every tomorrow will have its own tomorrow, world without end. Every human act, every Christian act, is an act of hope. But that means [we] must be men and women of the present, [we] must live this moment – really live it, not just endure it – because this very moment, for all its imperfection and frustration, because of its imperfection and frustration, is pregnant with all sorts of possibilities, is pregnant with the future, is pregnant with love, is pregnant with Christ.

Walter J. Burghardt, quoted in An Advent Sourcebook, Liturgy Training Publications: Chicago, 1988, pg 81.
