Christ Mass
December 23, 2009
Christ Mass Eve Dec. 24 @ 7 p.m.
Christ Mass Day Dec. 25 @ 10 a.m.
If Jesus Christ is the reason for the season, why are we busier buying and selling gifts, cards, trees, etc. more than celebrating the Christ Mass? We at St. John’s Chapel will be meeting for both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services. All are welcome to join in the worship of our King, on the eve and day marked to celebrate his birth.
While many people will be ending their Christmas celebration on the 24th, we at St. John’s Chapel, along with millions of Christians, will just be beginning our celebration of the 12 days of Christmas. This celebration will culminate with Epiphany on 6th of January.
In the last four weeks before Christmas, we have been observing the season of Advent, in which we await the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The expectation is twofold – one of Chrsitmas to observe the historic first coming of Jesus Christ into the world as God incarnate, and the other of his second coming when Christ will come to take his bride the Church and judge the world. As Christians, we expect the Lord Christ to come again at any time and thus are prepared to meet him by being surrendered to him by the guidance of his Holy Spirit.
