CWS Christmas Gift Appeal 2017
The weeks leading up to Christmas can be busy and noisy - parties and family gather-ings make for lots of noise and words - sometimes happy, sometimes not. This Advent-Christmas season, CWS invite us to make space for the voices of people who we might otherwise miss. Week by week, we’ll focus on the one of the CWS partners providing programmes to tackle the causes of poverty every day. Our dona-tions through the CWS Christmas Gift Ap-peal help provide resources for change and give people hope now, and may help people out of poverty forever. The world is a small place - we need to make sure we hear the voices of the people crying out for food, water and justice, and respond in ways that give life and hope. In this way, we can do our bit to help bring peace to the world. Please give generously to the 2017 CWS Christmas Gift Appeal - let’s make hope our story! Appeal envelopes are available on the back table in the Cathedral, please send direct to CWS, P O Box 22-652, Christ-church; or donate on-line at: http://christmasappeal.org.nz/donate/
Advent 1 - HOPE - The memory of Typhoon Haiyan drives 74 year old Clarita who lives near the coast of Aklan province in the Phil-ippines. In 2013, her house and crops were badly damaged. She wants to have a cush-ion against future calamities and make her community stronger. Together they have planted fruit trees and root crops, and start-ed their very own farmers’ market. In the face of climate change, they are preparing with hope for an uncertain future. CWS partner Developers Foundation has worked to rebuild homes and livelihoods.
A Festival of Nine Lessons and Christmas Carols

Welcome: Dean Ian Render
We hear a ‘Partner Story’ from the CWS Christmas Gift Appeal, and light the first candle in our Advent Wreath - the candle of ‘Hope’
1
Come now where we least expect you,
Christ our hope and longing, come.
Show us where we still reject you
in the world you made your home.
Look around!
Christ is found
far beyond our sacred ground.
2
Come where we have tried to own you
locked within the distant past,
where your church has scarcely
known you,
where the least remain the last.
Enter still
where you will,
come to challenge and fulfill.
4
We remember the voice of the prophets calling us to be bearers of hope in a troubled world. The candle is lit
We light the candle for hope. May it light the way for us as we make hope our story.
All sing: Light a candle bright and tall for the Hope within our world. Hope that heard the ages’ call as the stars and planets whirled. Shine within our hearts today Come, O Hope, to us, we pray. © 2012 by David Wood.

Gradual Hymn: We heard Christ’s Word Tune: Dominus Regit Me
1 We heard Christ's word,
and looking back
recalled the road behind us;
at every turning of the track
he came to seek and find us.
2 We searched our hearts
and looked within
and cried to God to cleanse us;
we found the One who bore our sin
now lives, and still befriends us.

Offertory Hymn: View the present through the promise
View the present through the promise, Christ comes again.
Trust despite the deepening darkness, Christ comes again.
Lift the world above its grieving through your watching and believing
in the hope past hope’s conceiving: Christ comes again.
Probe the present with the promise, Christ comes again.
Let your daily actions witness, Christ comes again.
Let your loving and your giving and your justice and forgiving
be a sign to all the living: Christ comes again.
Match the present to the promise, Christ comes again.
Make this hope your guiding premise, Christ comes again.
Pattern all your calculating and the world you are creating
to the advent you are waiting: Christ comes again.

3 We raised our eyes to look above
and praised the mighty Giver
for every blessing of his love,
and words that last for ever.

where earth's new dawn is breaking;
for Christ is coming, as he said,
and heaven is in the making.

Recessional Hymn: Long ago, prophets knew Tune: Personent Hodie [CP58]
F Pratt Green 1971 adapted
The Dismissal: Go now to love and serve the Lord. Go in peace. Amen. We go in the name of Christ.
1 Long ago, prophets knew
Christ would come, born a Jew,
come to make all things new;
bear his people's burden,
freely love and pardon.
Ring, bells, ring, ring, ring!
People, sing, sing, sing!
When he comes,
when he comes,
who will make him welcome?
2 God in time, God on earth,
thus is God's human birth:
Jesus comes, as a man,
born himself of woman,
God divinely human:
Ring, bells, ring...
3 Mary hail! Though afraid,
she believed, she obeyed.
In her womb, God is laid:
till the time expected,
nurtured and protected,
Ring, bells, ring...
4 Journey ends! Where afar
Beth’lem shines, like a star,
stable door stands ajar.
unborn Son of Mary,
Saviour, do not tarry!
Ring, bells, ring, ring, ring!
People, sing, sing, sing!
Jesus comes!
Jesus comes!
We will make him welcome!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of
Mary Ditchburn who died early last week.
In accordance with Mary’s wishes, a private funeral was held in the
Aotearoa Chapel on Friday morning.
May she rest in peace and rise in glory.
Association of Anglican Women Cathedral Fellowship
The final AAW gathering for this year will be on Monday 11th December at 6:30pm for our Christmas dinner at The Boardwalk, Ahuriri. Partners / friends welcome. If you have not already told Helen you are coming please ring her on 844 8574 by Friday 8th. Our programme next year will start with the usual BBQ at All Saints on Tuesday 13th February. Come and join us then as we share fun and fellowship with AAW mem-bers and other Christian women from around Hawkes Bay. Our last Knit–In for the year was on Mon-day 27th November and our fingers were busy as we tried to finish the garments for Dean Ian to bless on Sunday 3rd. Thank you very much for doing this Ian, both for us and for those receiving our wares. We will continue to meet on the last Monday of each month next year but we will be shift-ing with the library to the MTG. More about this later. Did you know that the library is allowing a 3-month loan period for all items taken out during December. Basically this is to re-duce their work load as they prepare to shift and then settle into their new space in the MTG, but good for us customers. Contacts: Helen, ph. 844-8574 or Kay, ph. 834-4096
Cathedral’s Informal Fellowship

Advent Word An opportunity to connect with others as we reflect and pray through Advent - the Society of Saint John the Evangelist (an Anglican order of monks), invite us to par-ticipate again in a programme called ‘AdventWord’, the Anglican Communion’s global Advent calendar. The calendar is created by Christians around the world sending in images in response to an Ad-vent meditation. To participate go on-line to AdventWord.org and signup to receive a daily email from the Brothers of SSJE. The email will contain a daily word and meditation, accompanied by a stunning image. You are invited to respond with an image of your own on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook or you can just watch the calendar grow each day in Advent. When you sign up you will receive easy instruc-tions on how to send in images and view the Advent Calendar.
