Sunday Dec 8 11:00 AM Pro populo

People who have had health issues or near-death experiences generally have a greater appreciation for each day being a gift from God. The rest of us usually take for granted that we will be around tomorrow. But when you start to look at each day as a gift, you realize all the little miracles that happen daily and grow in gratitude for all that we have been given. You begin to see God’s active presence in your life.

“Keep awake, therefore, for you do not know

on what day your Lord is coming."

First Sunday of Advent

Announcing a new book by Dr. Brett Salkeld, “Transubstantiation: Theology, History, and Christian Unity”, from Baker Books (November 2019) A book launch will be held Thursday, December 5 at the Cathedral Social Hall (Albert St. at 13th Ave). You are invited to come at 6:00 for dinner (optional), with the program beginning at 7:00 p.m. No RSVPs.Speakers include: Rev. Amanda Currie (First Presbyterian), Rev. David Schuchardt (Northview Community Church), and Rev. Cam Fraser (Knox-Metropolitan United Church).Limited copies of the book will be available. Reserve your copy from Brett at bretzky@hotmail.com. Or, support your local Christian bookseller, Burns-Hanley (2727 13th Ave, Regina), 306-522-6636.Description:This thoroughgoing study examines the doctrine of transubstantiation from historical, theological, and ecumenical vantage points. Brett Salkeld explores eucharistic presence in the theologies of Aquinas, Luther, and Calvin, showing that Christians might have more in common on this topic than they have typically been led to believe. As Salkeld corrects false understandings of the theology of transubstantiation, he shows that Luther and Calvin were much closer to the medieval Catholic tradition than is often acknowledged. The book includes a foreword by Michael Root.

There are many Advent activities to do. Download the Advent calendar; Advent wreath and Jesse Tree for your child at: ttps://archregina.sk.ca/youth-ministry/holy-childhood-association

What are the key first steps to enter into Advent? We can all slow down. We can all breathe more deeply. We can all begin to trust that this will be a blessed time. Then, when we let ourselves be who we are, and hear the Scriptures, we can begin to quietly pray, “Come, Lord, Jesus.” We might expand that prayer, in quiet moments of our days ahead, “Come into my life. I trust you don’t mind if it is still messy. I believe you love me, because I need your love. I don’t fear you can’t find the way to my heart. Come and fill me with peace and the love only you can give.” Some of us will want to open our hands on our laps or hold up our arms in the privacy of our rooms and say out loud, “Come, Lord, Jesus, come into this house, into my family, into our struggles. Come and heal us, and give us join again. Come and unite us and let us experience, each in our own way, a bit of the joy you are offering me now.” And, before a single decoration goes up, we have prepared for Christmas’ message with the foundation of faith, with the mystery of Advent’s gift. God wants to be with us. Advent is letting God’s will be done in our hearts and in our everyday lives. “Taken from Praying Advent, on Creighton University’s
