The Second Sunday of Christmas

The Second Sunday of Christmas

O God, who didst wonderfully create, and yet more wonderfully restore, the dignity of human nature: Grant that we may share the divine life of him who humbled himself to share our humanity, thy Son Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The 11am Eucharist is typically the best-attended worship service at Saint Thomas each week. It is at this service that you not only will experience the full power of liturgy, music and preaching at Saint Thomas, but also will have the opportunity to meet many parishioners in the pews. Coffee hour follows the service.

Today’s Eucharist is “festal” because we are in the Christmas Season. Today is not only the Second Sunday after Christmas Day, but also the Ninth Day of the Twelve Days of Christmas. If you attend the service in person, you’ll notice the gold vestments. There is also incense during the Offertory. Included during worship are hymns sung by the congregation and choir, additional music sung exclusively by the choir, lessons, prayers, a sermon, and a Rite I Mass. All baptized Christians are welcome to receive Holy Communion. Details of the service may be seen in the leaflet, which is posted at the bottom of this page.

Please note: On January 6, we will celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany at services in the Chantry at 8am and 12:10pm, and at the High Altar with a Festal Eucharist at 5:30pm. We celebrate again on January 16 with an Epiphany Procession with Carols at both 11am and 4pm.
