From Father Iain, All Saints Chiang Mai
The Choir on Advent Sunday
Dear Friends,
This Sunday is the Third Sunday of Advent! Christmas is almost here! Our Festival of Christmas Carols is only just over a week away and then it will soon be Christmas Day! Please volunteer to help on Saturday 20th and sign-up for the lunch on Thursday 25th saying what can bring!!!!
Christmas is a time of hope – hope for a better world – even Christmas movies envision a kinder, gentler, way of being human – and the message of the gospel is Peace on Earth and goodwill to all!
In this week’s Gospel Reading we will hear of the visit of the Angel Gabriel to Mary. Her response to God’s unusual plan is “yes!” How will we respond to God’s call on our lives this Christmas?
The bible readings for the Third Sunday of Advent will be Micah 5:2-5, Romans 16:25-27, and Luke 1:26-37, and we will be singing the Advent hymns O Come, O come Emmanuel; Song of Mary; Sing We the King Who is Coming to Reign; and Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending!
