THE NATIVITY OF SAINT JOHN THE BAPTIST

In 2007, the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist fell on a Sunday, and therefore we had a Festal Eucharist in celebration. The Rector gave a sermon on the significance (and the timing) of the event:

John the Forerunner

The Nativity of Saint John the Baptist falls on a Sunday again in 2012.

Collect:

Almighty God, by whose providence thy servant John the Baptist was wonderfully born, and sent to prepare the way of thy Son our Savior by preaching repentance: Make us so to follow his doctrine and holy life, that we may truly repent according to his preaching; and after his example constantly speak the truth, boldly rebuke vice, and patiently suffer for the truth's sake; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
