SCHEDULE OF SERVICES

Dear Parishioner: Charles Wesley used the Old Testament Book of
Haggai as the inspiration
for his famous hymn, Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus. In it the
prophet
Haggai spoke to the people of Judah who returned from their
exile in
Babylon to find the world, as they knew it, had been destroyed.
Haggai
reminded the people of God’s faithfulness in the past, and
reassured them
of God’s abiding presence, which would bring them the peace and
joy they
longed for. In this third millennium, our world has changed, and
continues to change,
often in troubling ways. Like the people of Judah, we too, long
for peace
and joy. The seasons of Advent and Christmas remind us of God’s
saving
actions in the past and they also reassure us that God continues
to act in our
world and be present to us. As people of faith, we know our true
joy and
lasting peace can only be found in Christ. And so, we sing out
“Come, thou
long expected Jesus.”
Faithfully, W. Becket Soule, O.P. (The Rev.) W. Becket Soule,
O.P.
