Last of the Green Sundays. Stewardship 2020. Christmas Fayre

St. Agnes Anglican Church
Last of the green Sundays

Last of the Green Sundays

This Sunday is known as "the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost." For nearly half the Sundays in the year, the liturgical colour has been green. We have a green banner at the entrance to the church, the altar is decorated with green cloth, and the clergy wear green vestments.

Next Sunday we will celebrate The Reign of Christ and the colour will be white. Then comes the blue of the Advent season commencing December 1st.

Green is my favorite colour - it speaks to me of the health of the earth, and green is the colour of the environmental movement.

But, after 23 weeks of green (with a few exceptions like white for All Saints), it is refreshing to have a change of colour. After all, God's good creation contains all the colours, and all colours point us to God, the creator of the earth.

Stewardship 2020

This year our pledge Sunday is on December 1, 2019. A package of material will be available for you to take home this Sunday. It includes a letter from our Rector, a brochure about St Agnes, and a pledge form.

St Agnes thrives because of the generosity of our members. Your gifts of time, talent and treasure as an expression of gratitude to God are gratefully received. Thank you!

Daily Meditation for Advent

Daily Meditation for Advent

Free daily reflection starting December 1

Advent is the season to celebrate the birth of Jesus. The scriptures and hymns also point us to the central event we are expecting in Advent: the future coming of Jesus Christ.

This is the time of fulfillment, the time of the reign of God in all its wholeness, the time of final judgement which will bring justice and mercy to all.

This is the event we await in Advent.

Sign-up for a daily email in Advent with meditations from Archbishop Melissa and spiritual directors in the diocese.

Each day will include a selected image, hymn, or poem that evokes the actions of Advent: waiting, longing, anticipating, expecting, and preparing.

Awaken your imagination to renew your journey through Advent.
