The Third Sunday Of Advent (Gaudete)

The Third Sunday Of Advent (Gaudete)

Stir up thy power, O Lord, and with great might come among us; and, because we are sorely hindered by our sins, let thy bountiful grace and mercy speedily help and deliver us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be honor and glory, world without end. Amen.

11:00 a.m.

On Guadete Sunday, we light the rose candle on the Advent wreath and rejoice as our King and Savior draweth nigh.

You will notice that while this service proceeds as nearly any other Festal Eucharist at Saint Thomas, the Rector also says The Summary of the Law and The Comfortable Words.

The Eucharist is given both at the High Altar and, for convenience, at the Chantry rail. All baptized Christians are welcome to receive communion.
