For as the earth brings forth its shoots\, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up\, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations. For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent\, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest\, until her vindication shines out like the dawn\, and her salvation like a burning torch. The nations shall see your vindication\, and all the kings your glory; and you shall be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will give. You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord\, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. \n\n\n\nPsalm 147\n\n\n\nLaudate Dominum \n\n\n\nHallelujah!How good it is to sing praises to our God! *   how pleasant it is to honor him with praise!The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem; *   he gathers the exiles of Israel.He heals the brokenhearted *   and binds up their wounds.He counts the number of the stars *   and calls them all by their names.Great is our Lord and mighty in power; *   there is no limit to his wisdom.The Lord lifts up the lowly\, *   but casts the wicked to the ground.Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; *   make music to our God upon the harp.He covers the heavens with clouds *   and prepares rain for the earth;He makes grass to grow upon the mountains *   and green plants to serve mankind.He provides food for flocks and herds *   and for the young ravens when they cry.He is not impressed by the might of a horse; *   he has no pleasure in the strength of a man;But the Lord has pleasure in those who fear him\, *   in those who await his gracious favor.Worship the Lord\, O Jerusalem; *   praise your God\, O Zion;For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; *   he has blessed your children within you.He has established peace on your borders; *   he satisfies you with the finest wheat.He sends out his command to the earth\, *   and his word runs very swiftly.He gives snow like wool; *   he scatters hoarfrost like ashes.He scatters his hail like bread crumbs; *   who can stand against his cold?He sends forth his word and melts them; *   he blows with his wind\, and the waters flow.He declares his word to Jacob\, *   his statutes and his judgments to Israel.He has not done so to any other nation; *   to them he has not revealed his judgments.   Hallelujah! \n\n\n\nGalatians 3:23-25; 4:4-7 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nNow before faith came\, we were imprisoned and guarded under the law until faith would be revealed. Therefore the law was our disciplinarian until Christ came\, so that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come\, we are no longer subject to a disciplinarian. But when the fullness of time had come\, God sent his Son\, born of a woman\, born under the law\, in order to redeem those who were under the law\, so that we might receive adoption as children. And because you are children\, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts\, crying\, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave but a child\, and if a child then also an heir\, through God. \n\n\n\nJohn 1:1-18 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nIn the beginning was the Word\, and the Word was with God\, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him\, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life\, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness\, and the darkness did not overcome it. There was a man sent from God\, whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify to the light\, so that all might believe through him. He himself was not the light\, but he came to testify to the light. The true light\, which enlightens everyone\, was coming into the world. He was in the world\, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him. He came to what was his own\, and his own people did not accept him. But to all who received him\, who believed in his name\, he gave power to become children of God\, who were born\, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man\, but of God. And the Word became flesh and lived among us\, and we have seen his glory\, the glory as of a father’s only son\, full of grace and truth. (John testified to him and cried out\, “This was he of whom I said\, ‘He who comes after me ranks ahead of me because he was before me.’”) From his fullness we have all received\, grace upon grace. The law indeed was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. It is God the only Son\, who is close to the Father’s heart\, who has made him known. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

Please contact Alcoholics Anonymous for more information. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nWhat is Alcoholics Anonymous?\n\n\n\nAlcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy\, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. \n\n\n\nWhat A.A. does do: \n\n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.\n\n\n\nA.A. members share their experience with anyone seeking help with a drinking problem; they give person-to-person service or “sponsorship” to the alcoholic coming to A.A. from any source.\n\n\n\nThe A.A. program\, set forth in our Twelve Steps\, offers the alcoholic a way to develop a satisfying life without alcohol.\n\n\n\n\nThis program is discussed at A.A. group meetings. \n\n\n\n\nOpen speaker meetings — open to alcoholics and nonalcoholics. (Attendance at an open A.A. meeting is the best way to learn what A.A. is\, what it does\, and what it does not do.) At speaker meetings\, A.A. members “tell their stories.” They describe their experiences with alcohol\, how they came to A.A.\, and how their lives have changed as a result of Alcoholics Anonymous.\n\n\n\nOpen discussion meetings — one member speaks briefly about his or her drinking experience\, and then leads a discussion on A.A. recovery or any drinking-related problem anyone brings up. (Closed meetings are for A.A.s or anyone who may have a drinking problem.)\n\n\n\nClosed discussion meetings — conducted just as open discussions are\, but for alcoholics or prospective A.A.s only.\n\n\n\nStep meetings (usually closed) — discussion of one of the Twelve Steps.

Amen. \n\n\n\nor this \n\n\n\nO God\, you have caused this holy night to shine with the brightness of the true Light: Grant that we\, who have known the mystery of that Light on earth\, may also enjoy him perfectly in heaven; where with you and the Holy Spirit he lives and reigns\, one God\, in glory everlasting. Amen. \n\n\n\nor this \n\n\n\nAlmighty God\, you have given your only-begotten Son to take our nature upon him\, and to be born [this day] of a pure virgin: Grant that we\, who have been born again and made your children by adoption and grace\, may daily be renewed by your Holy Spirit; through our Lord Jesus Christ\, to whom with you and the same Spirit be honor and glory\, now and for ever. Amen. \n\n\n\nLessons\n\n\n\nLessons appointed for use for this day from the Revised Common Lectionary (Episcopal version). \n\n\n\nChristmas Day I\n\n\n\nIsaiah 9:2-7 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nThe people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness—on them light has shined. You have multiplied the nation\, you have increased its joy; they rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest\, as people exult when dividing plunder. For the yoke of their burden\, and the bar across their shoulders\, the rod of their oppressor\, you have broken as on the day of Midian. For all the boots of the tramping warriors and all the garments rolled in blood shall be burned as fuel for the fire. For a child has been born for us\, a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonderful Counselor\, Mighty God\, Everlasting Father\, Prince of Peace. His authority shall grow continually\, and there shall be endless peace for the throne of David and his kingdom. He will establish and uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time onward and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this. \n\n\n\nPsalm 96 or 96:1-4\, 11-12 (BCP)\n\n\n\n1 Sing to the Lord a new song; *    sing to the Lord\, all the whole earth. \n\n\n\n2 Sing to the Lord and bless his Name; *    proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day. \n\n\n\n3 Declare his glory among the nations *    and his wonders among all peoples. \n\n\n\n4 For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; *    he is more to be feared than all gods. \n\n\n\n[5 As for all the gods of the nations\, they are but idols; *    but it is the Lord who made the heavens. \n\n\n\n6 Oh\, the majesty and magnificence of his presence! *    Oh\, the power and the splendor of his sanctuary! \n\n\n\n7 Ascribe to the Lord\, you families of the peoples; *    ascribe to the Lord honor and power. \n\n\n\n8 Ascribe to the Lord the honor due his Name; *    bring offerings and come into his courts. \n\n\n\n9 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; *    let the whole earth tremble before him. \n\n\n\n10 Tell it out among the nations: “The Lord is King! *    he has made the world so firm that it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.”] \n\n\n\n11 Let the heavens rejoice\, and let the earth be glad; let the sea thunder and all that is in it; *    let the field be joyful and all that is therein. \n\n\n\n12 Then shall all the trees of the wood shout for joy before the Lord when he comes\, *    when he comes to judge the earth. \n\n\n\nTitus 2:11-14 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nThe grace of God has appeared\, bringing salvation to all\, training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions\, and in the present age to live lives that are self-controlled\, upright\, and godly\, while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Savior\, Jesus Christ. He it is who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds. \n\n\n\nLuke 2:1-14(15-20) (NRSV)\n\n\n\nIn those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration and was taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. All went to their own towns to be registered. Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea\, to the city of David called Bethlehem\, because he was descended from the house and family of David. He went to be registered with Mary\, to whom he was engaged and who was expecting a child. While they were there\, the time came for her to deliver her child. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth\, and laid him in a manger\, because there was no place for them in the inn. In that region there were shepherds living in the fields\, keeping watch over their flock by night. Then an angel of the Lord stood before them\, and the glory of the Lord shone around them\, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them\, “Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior\, who is the Messiah\, the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host\, praising God and saying\, “Glory to God in the highest heaven\, and on earth peace among those whom he favors!”[When the angels had left them and gone into heaven\, the shepherds said to one another\, “Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place\, which the Lord has made known to us.” So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph\, and the child lying in the manger. When they saw this\, they made known what had been told them about this child; and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned\, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen\, as it had been told them.] \n\n\n\nChristmas II\n\n\n\nIsaiah 62:6-12 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nUpon your walls\, O Jerusalem\, I have posted sentinels; all day and all night they shall never be silent. You who remind the Lord\, take no rest\, and give him no rest until he establishes Jerusalem and makes it renowned throughout the earth. The Lord has sworn by his right hand and by his mighty arm: I will not again give your grain to be food for your enemies\, and foreigners shall not drink the wine for which you have labored; but those who garner it shall eat it and praise the Lord\, and those who gather it shall drink it in my holy courts. Go through\, go through the gates\, prepare the way for the people; build up\, build up the highway\, clear it of stones\, lift up an ensign over the peoples. The Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Say to daughter Zion\, “See\, your salvation comes; his reward is with him\, and his recompense before him.” They shall be called\, “The Holy People\, The Redeemed of the Lord”; and you shall be called\, “Sought Out\, A City Not Forsaken.” \n\n\n\nPsalm 97 or 97:1-4\, 11-12 (BCP)\n\n\n\n1 The Lord is King; let the earth rejoice; *    let the multitude of the isles be glad. \n\n\n\n2 Clouds and darkness are round about him\, *    righteousness and justice are the foundations of his throne. \n\n\n\n3 A fire goes before him *    and burns up his enemies on every side. \n\n\n\n4 His lightnings light up the world; *    the earth sees it and is afraid. \n\n\n\n[5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord\, *    at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. \n\n\n\n6 The heavens declare his righteousness\, *    and all the peoples see his glory. \n\n\n\n7 Confounded be all who worship carved images and delight in false gods! *    Bow down before him\, all you gods. \n\n\n\n8 Zion hears and is glad\, and the cities of Judah rejoice\, *    because of your judgments\, O Lord. \n\n\n\n9 For you are the Lord\, most high over all the earth; *    you are exalted far above all gods. \n\n\n\n10 The Lord loves those who hate evil; *    he preserves the lives of his saints and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.] \n\n\n\n11 Light has sprung up for the righteous\, *    and joyful gladness for those who are truehearted. \n\n\n\n12 Rejoice in the Lord\, you righteous\, *    and give thanks to his holy Name. \n\n\n\nTitus 3:4-7 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nWhen the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared\, he saved us\, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done\, but according to his mercy\, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. This Spirit he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior\, so that\, having been justified by his grace\, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. \n\n\n\nLuke 2:(1-7)8-20 (NRSV)\n\n\n\n[In those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration and was taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. All went to their own towns to be registered. Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea\, to the city of David called Bethlehem\, because he was descended from the house and family of David. He went to be registered with Mary\, to whom he was engaged and who was expecting a child. While they were there\, the time came for her to deliver her child. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth\, and laid him in a manger\, because there was no place for them in the inn.]In that region there were shepherds living in the fields\, keeping watch over their flock by night. Then an angel of the Lord stood before them\, and the glory of the Lord shone around them\, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them\, “Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior\, who is the Messiah\, the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host\, praising God and saying\, “Glory to God in the highest heaven\, and on earth peace among those whom he favors!” When the angels had left them and gone into heaven\, the shepherds said to one another\, “Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place\, which the Lord has made known to us.” So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph\, and the child lying in the manger. When they saw this\, they made known what had been told them about this child; and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned\, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen\, as it had been told them. \n\n\n\nChristmas III\n\n\n\nIsaiah 52:7-10 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nHow beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger who announces peace\, who brings good news\, who announces salvation\, who says to Zion\, “Your God reigns.” Listen! Your sentinels lift up their voices\, together they sing for joy; for in plain sight they see the return of the Lord to Zion. Break forth together into singing\, you ruins of Jerusalem; for the Lord has comforted his people\, he has redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord has bared his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. \n\n\n\nPsalm 98 or 98:1-6 (BCP)\n\n\n\n1 Sing to the Lord a new song\, *    for he has done marvelous things. \n\n\n\n2 With his right hand and his holy arm *    has he won for himself the victory. \n\n\n\n3 The Lord has made known his victory; *    his righteousness has he openly shown in the sight of the nations. \n\n\n\n4 He remembers his mercy and faithfulness to the house of Israel\, *    and all the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God. \n\n\n\n5 Shout with joy to the Lord\, all you lands; *    lift up your voice\, rejoice\, and sing. \n\n\n\n6 Sing to the Lord with the harp\, *    with the harp and the voice of song. \n\n\n\n[7 With trumpets and the sound of the horn *    shout with joy before the King\, the Lord. \n\n\n\n8 Let the sea make a noise and all that is in it\, *    the lands and those who dwell therein. \n\n\n\n9 Let the rivers clap their hands\, *    and let the hills ring out with joy before the Lord\, when he comes to judge the earth. \n\n\n\n10 In righteousness shall he judge the world *    and the peoples with equity.] \n\n\n\nHebrews 1:1-4(5-12) (NRSV)\n\n\n\nLong ago God spoke to our ancestors in many and various ways by the prophets\, but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son\, whom he appointed heir of all things\, through whom he also created the worlds. He is the reflection of God’s glory and the exact imprint of God’s very being\, and he sustains all things by his powerful word. When he had made purification for sins\, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high\, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.[For to which of the angels did God ever say\, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you”? Or again\, “I will be his Father\, and he will be my Son”? And again\, when he brings the firstborn into the world\, he says\, “Let all God’s angels worship him.” Of the angels he says\, “He makes his angels winds\, and his servants flames of fire.” But of the Son he says\, “Your throne\, O God\, is forever and ever\, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God\, your God\, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.” And\, “In the beginning\, Lord\, you founded the earth\, and the heavens are the work of your hands; they will perish\, but you remain; they will all wear out like clothing; like a cloak you will roll them up\, and like clothing they will be changed. But you are the same\, and your years will never end.”] \n\n\n\nJohn 1:1-14 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nIn the beginning was the Word\, and the Word was with God\, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him\, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life\, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness\, and the darkness did not overcome it. There was a man sent from God\, whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify to the light\, so that all might believe through him. He himself was not the light\, but he came to testify to the light. The true light\, which enlightens everyone\, was coming into the world. He was in the world\, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him. He came to what was his own\, and his own people did not accept him. But to all who received him\, who believed in his name\, he gave power to become children of God\, who were born\, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man\, but of God. And the Word became flesh and lived among us\, and we have seen his glory\, the glory as of a father’s only son\, full of grace and truth. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

It commemorates the Incarnation of the Word of God in the birth of Jesus Christ. According to the Philocalian calendar\, Christmas was first celebrated in Rome in the year 336. It gradually spread to the churches of the east\, which already had a festival on January 6 commemorating the manifestation of God in both the birth and baptism of Jesus.  \n\n\n\nIn Britain\, people added various observances to Christmas celebrations\, including the Yule log and Yule cakes\, fir trees\, gifts\, and greetings. Fires and lights (symbols of warmth and lasting life) and evergreens (symbols of survival) were traditionally associated with both pagan and Christian festivals. Their use developed considerably in England with the importation of German customs and through the influence of the writings of Charles Dickens \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to participate fully at Redeemer. \n\n\n\n\nAll races.\n\n\n\nAll religions.\n\n\n\nAll countries of origin.\n\n\n\nAll sexual orientations\, including LGBTQ+.\n\n\n\nAll genders.\n\n\n\n\nWe stand with you.

Please contact Cocaine Anonymous for more information. In the spirit of Tradition Six\, C.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nMeeting type: \n\n\n\n\nMeditation: Practices vary\, but typically there is a brief period of meditation prior to any sharing. The meditation may be silent or accompanied by audio intended to help facilitate the practice. Lights may be turned off or dimmed during the meditation.\n\n\n\nCandlelight: The meeting is conducted partly or entirely by candlelight.\n\n\n\n\nAbout C.A.\n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous is a Fellowship of men and women who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others recover from their addiction. \n\n\n\nThe best way to reach someone is to speak to them on a common level. The members of C.A. are all recovering addicts who maintain their individual sobriety by working with others. We come from various social\, ethnic\, economic and religious backgrounds\, but what we have in common is addiction. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. \n\n\n\nAnyone who wants to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances (including alcohol and other drugs) is welcome. \n\n\n\nThere are no dues or fees for membership; we are fully self-supporting through our own contributions. \n\n\n\nWe do ask for voluntary contributions at meetings to cover expenses such as coffee\, rent\, literature and services to help those who are still suffering. However\, newcomers need not feel obligated to contribute. We do not accept donations from organizations or individuals outside the Fellowship. \n\n\n\nWe are not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nIn order to maintain our integrity and avoid any possible complications\, we are not affiliated with any outside organization. Although C.A. is a spiritual program\, we do not align ourselves with any religion. Our members are free to define their spirituality as they see fit. Our individual members may have opinions of their own\, but C.A. as a whole has no opinion on outside issues. We are not affiliated with any rehabs\, recovery houses or hospitals\, but many do refer their patients to Cocaine Anonymous to maintain their sobriety. \n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay free from cocaine and all other mind-altering substances and to help others achieve the same freedom. \n\n\n\nThe only purpose of Cocaine Anonymous is to offer recovery to individuals who are suffering from addiction. Our experience has shown that the most effective way to attain and maintain sobriety is to work with others suffering from the same malady. \n\n\n\nWe use the Twelve-Step recovery program because it has already been proven that the Twelve-Step recovery program works. \n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\nWelcome to Cocaine Anonymous . We are all here for the same reason—our inability to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. The first step towards solving any problem is admitting that there is a problem. \n\n\n\n12 steps of Cocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\n\nWe admitted we were powerless over cocaine and all other mind-altering substances—that our lives had become unmanageable.\n\n\n\nCame to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.\n\n\n\nMade a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.\n\n\n\nMade a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.\n\n\n\nAdmitted to God\, to ourselves\, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.\n\n\n\nWere entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.\n\n\n\nHumbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.\n\n\n\nMade a list of all persons we had harmed\, and became willing to make amends to them all.\n\n\n\nMade direct amends to such people wherever possible\, except when to do so would injure them or others.\n\n\n\nContinued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.\n\n\n\nSought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him\, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.\n\n\n\nHaving had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps\, we tried to carry this message to addicts\, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

We look forward to seeing you at this 10:30 am service of Holy Eucharist at Church of the Redeemer. \n\n\n\nIt is in-person and on-line. The link to the service live cast is on the Welcome page of this website. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to participate fully at Redeemer. \n\n\n\n\nAll races.\n\n\n\nAll religions.\n\n\n\nAll countries of origin.\n\n\n\nAll sexual orientations (including LGBTQ+).\n\n\n\nAll genders.\n\n\n\n\nEucharist\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is the sacrament of Christ’s body and blood\, and the principal act of Christian worship. The term is from the Greek\, “thanksgiving.” The Episcopal Church invites all baptized Christians to receive communion. \n\n\n\nJesus instituted the Eucharist “on the night when he was betrayed.” At the Last Supper he shared the bread and cup of wine at a sacred meal with his disciples. He identified the bread with his body and the wine with his blood of the new covenant. Jesus commanded his disciples to “do this” in remembrance of him. See these passages in Scripture: \n\n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 11:23-26\n\n\n\nMark 14:22-25\n\n\n\nMatthew 26:26-29\n\n\n\nLuke 22:14-20\n\n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist makes Christ’s sacrifice present. This unites us to Christ’s one self-offering (Book of Common Prayer\, p. 859). The Last Supper provides the basis for the fourfold Eucharistic action of taking\, blessing\, breaking\, and sharing. Christ’s body and blood are really present in the sacrament of the Eucharist and received by faith. We also know Christ’s presence in the gathered eucharistic community. \n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer entitles the whole service the Holy Eucharist. \n\n\n\n\nThe first part of the service is designated the Word of God. It usually includes the entrance rite\, the lessons and gradual psalm\, the gospel\, the sermon\, the Nicene Creed\, the Prayers of the People\, the confession of sin and absolution\, and the Peace.\n\n\n\nThe second portion of the service is designated the Holy Communion. It includes the offertory\, the consecration of the bread and wine in the Great Thanksgiving\, the communion of the people\, and the concluding prayers of thanksgiving and dismissal. A blessing may be given prior to the dismissal.\n\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is also called the Lord’s Supper\, Holy Communion\, the Divine Liturgy\, the Mass\, and the Great Offertory (BCP\, p. 859). \n\n\n\nThe Hymnal\n\n\n\nThe Hymnal 1982 includes a section with a variety of hymns for the Holy Eucharist (Numbers 300 through 347)\, including the following: \n\n\n\n\n“Come\, risen Lord\, and deign to be our guest” (305 and 306)\n\n\n\n“My God\, thy table now is spread” (321)\n\n\n\n“Now\, my tongue\, the mystery telling” (329 through 331)\n\n\n\n“I am the bread of life” (335)\n\n\n\n\n(Above taken from Eucharist .)

But Ahaz said\, I will not ask\, and I will not put the Lord to the test. Then Isaiah said: “Hear then\, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary mortals\, that you weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Look\, the young woman is with child and shall bear a son\, and shall name him Immanuel. He shall eat curds and honey by the time he knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good. For before the child knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good\, the land before whose two kings you are in dread will be deserted.” \n\n\n\nPsalm 80:1-7\, 16-18 (BCP)\n\n\n\nQui regis Israel \n\n\n\nHear\, O Shepherd of Israel\, leading Joseph like a flock; *   shine forth\, you that are enthroned upon the cherubim.In the presence of Ephraim\, Benjamin\, and Manasseh\, *   stir up your strength and come to help us.Restore us\, O God of hosts; *   show the light of your countenance\, and we shall be saved.O Lord God of hosts\, *   how long will you be angered despite the prayers of your people?You have fed them with the bread of tears; *   you have given them bowls of tears to drink.You have made us the derision of our neighbors\, *   and our enemies laugh us to scorn.Restore us\, O God of hosts; *   show the light of your countenance\, and we shall be saved.Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand\, *   the son of man you have made so strong for yourself.And so will we never turn away from you; *   give us life\, that we may call upon your Name.Restore us\, O Lord God of hosts; *   show the light of your countenance\, and we shall be saved. \n\n\n\nRomans 1:1-7 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nPaul\, a servant of Jesus Christ\, called to be an apostle\, set apart for the gospel of God\, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy scriptures\, the gospel concerning his Son\, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be Son of God with power according to the spirit of holiness by resurrection from the dead\, Jesus Christ our Lord\, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for the sake of his name\, including yourselves who are called to belong to Jesus Christ\,To all God’s beloved in Rome\, who are called to be saints:Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. \n\n\n\nMatthew 1:18-25 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nNow the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph\, but before they lived together\, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph\, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace\, planned to dismiss her quietly. But just when he had resolved to do this\, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said\, “Joseph\, son of David\, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife\, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son\, and you are to name him Jesus\, for he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet:“Look\, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son\,   and they shall name him Emmanuel\,”which means\, “God is with us.” When Joseph awoke from sleep\, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took her as his wife\, but had no marital relations with her until she had borne a son; and he named him Jesus. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

Please contact Alcoholics Anonymous for more information. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nWhat is Alcoholics Anonymous?\n\n\n\nAlcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy\, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. \n\n\n\nWhat A.A. does do: \n\n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.\n\n\n\nA.A. members share their experience with anyone seeking help with a drinking problem; they give person-to-person service or “sponsorship” to the alcoholic coming to A.A. from any source.\n\n\n\nThe A.A. program\, set forth in our Twelve Steps\, offers the alcoholic a way to develop a satisfying life without alcohol.\n\n\n\n\nThis program is discussed at A.A. group meetings. \n\n\n\n\nOpen speaker meetings — open to alcoholics and nonalcoholics. (Attendance at an open A.A. meeting is the best way to learn what A.A. is\, what it does\, and what it does not do.) At speaker meetings\, A.A. members “tell their stories.” They describe their experiences with alcohol\, how they came to A.A.\, and how their lives have changed as a result of Alcoholics Anonymous.\n\n\n\nOpen discussion meetings — one member speaks briefly about his or her drinking experience\, and then leads a discussion on A.A. recovery or any drinking-related problem anyone brings up. (Closed meetings are for A.A.s or anyone who may have a drinking problem.)\n\n\n\nClosed discussion meetings — conducted just as open discussions are\, but for alcoholics or prospective A.A.s only.\n\n\n\nStep meetings (usually closed) — discussion of one of the Twelve Steps.

We are going to call our rebirth choir Remington Drive Irregulars. This name comes from the historic name of 181st Street\, which provides the south boundary of the Redeemer campus. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe choir draws repertoire from the Sacred Harp tradition\, Taizé\, rounds\, and chant. Scheduled rehearsals are set for 7:00 pm on most Tuesdays. \n\n\n\nSelect the following to volunteer for the few\, the proud\, the Remington Drive Irregulars. \n\n\n\n\nSign up for the Remington Drive Irregulars\n\n\n\n\nVolunteering lets us know how much music to prepare. You will not commit to singing every Sunday for life by doing this. We expect to have “rotating” attendance in the choir. \n\n\n\nBenefits of singing in a choir\n\n\n\nSinging in a choir offers significant mental\, social\, and physical benefits\, such as the following: \n\n\n\n\nReducing stress and anxiety\n\n\n\nBoosting mood and self-esteem\n\n\n\nFostering a sense of community\n\n\n\nImproving cognitive skills like memory and music reading\n\n\n\nStrengthening respiratory and immune systems \n\n\n\n\nChoral singing can also improve heart function\, increase pain thresholds\, and provide a powerful sense of belonging and social connection.  \n\n\n\nThese articles back up those claims: \n\n\n\n\nChoir singing improves health\, happiness – and is the perfect icebreaker (University of Oxford)\n\n\n\n13 health (physical\, mental\, and social) benefits of choir singing: Choral singing is good for you\, your physical and mental health\, and social life (Interkultur)\n\n\n\nThe Mental-Health Benefits of Singing in a Choir: A body of research finds singing in a group boosts mood\, outlook\, and health (Psychology Today)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom the Venite\, exultemus (Psalm 95) in the Book of Common Prayer: \n\n\n\n\nCome\, let us sing to the Lord; *     let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *     and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.

Please contact Cocaine Anonymous for more information. In the spirit of Tradition Six\, C.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nMeeting type: \n\n\n\n\nMeditation: Practices vary\, but typically there is a brief period of meditation prior to any sharing. The meditation may be silent or accompanied by audio intended to help facilitate the practice. Lights may be turned off or dimmed during the meditation.\n\n\n\nCandlelight: The meeting is conducted partly or entirely by candlelight.\n\n\n\n\nAbout C.A.\n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous is a Fellowship of men and women who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others recover from their addiction. \n\n\n\nThe best way to reach someone is to speak to them on a common level. The members of C.A. are all recovering addicts who maintain their individual sobriety by working with others. We come from various social\, ethnic\, economic and religious backgrounds\, but what we have in common is addiction. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. \n\n\n\nAnyone who wants to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances (including alcohol and other drugs) is welcome. \n\n\n\nThere are no dues or fees for membership; we are fully self-supporting through our own contributions. \n\n\n\nWe do ask for voluntary contributions at meetings to cover expenses such as coffee\, rent\, literature and services to help those who are still suffering. However\, newcomers need not feel obligated to contribute. We do not accept donations from organizations or individuals outside the Fellowship. \n\n\n\nWe are not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nIn order to maintain our integrity and avoid any possible complications\, we are not affiliated with any outside organization. Although C.A. is a spiritual program\, we do not align ourselves with any religion. Our members are free to define their spirituality as they see fit. Our individual members may have opinions of their own\, but C.A. as a whole has no opinion on outside issues. We are not affiliated with any rehabs\, recovery houses or hospitals\, but many do refer their patients to Cocaine Anonymous to maintain their sobriety. \n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay free from cocaine and all other mind-altering substances and to help others achieve the same freedom. \n\n\n\nThe only purpose of Cocaine Anonymous is to offer recovery to individuals who are suffering from addiction. Our experience has shown that the most effective way to attain and maintain sobriety is to work with others suffering from the same malady. \n\n\n\nWe use the Twelve-Step recovery program because it has already been proven that the Twelve-Step recovery program works. \n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\nWelcome to Cocaine Anonymous . We are all here for the same reason—our inability to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. The first step towards solving any problem is admitting that there is a problem. \n\n\n\n12 steps of Cocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\n\nWe admitted we were powerless over cocaine and all other mind-altering substances—that our lives had become unmanageable.\n\n\n\nCame to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.\n\n\n\nMade a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.\n\n\n\nMade a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.\n\n\n\nAdmitted to God\, to ourselves\, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.\n\n\n\nWere entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.\n\n\n\nHumbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.\n\n\n\nMade a list of all persons we had harmed\, and became willing to make amends to them all.\n\n\n\nMade direct amends to such people wherever possible\, except when to do so would injure them or others.\n\n\n\nContinued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.\n\n\n\nSought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him\, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.\n\n\n\nHaving had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps\, we tried to carry this message to addicts\, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

We look forward to seeing you at this 10:30 am service of Holy Eucharist at Church of the Redeemer. \n\n\n\nIt is in-person and on-line. The link to the service live cast is on the Welcome page of this website. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to participate fully at Redeemer. \n\n\n\n\nAll races.\n\n\n\nAll religions.\n\n\n\nAll countries of origin.\n\n\n\nAll sexual orientations (including LGBTQ+).\n\n\n\nAll genders.\n\n\n\n\nEucharist\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is the sacrament of Christ’s body and blood\, and the principal act of Christian worship. The term is from the Greek\, “thanksgiving.” The Episcopal Church invites all baptized Christians to receive communion. \n\n\n\nJesus instituted the Eucharist “on the night when he was betrayed.” At the Last Supper he shared the bread and cup of wine at a sacred meal with his disciples. He identified the bread with his body and the wine with his blood of the new covenant. Jesus commanded his disciples to “do this” in remembrance of him. See these passages in Scripture: \n\n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 11:23-26\n\n\n\nMark 14:22-25\n\n\n\nMatthew 26:26-29\n\n\n\nLuke 22:14-20\n\n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist makes Christ’s sacrifice present. This unites us to Christ’s one self-offering (Book of Common Prayer\, p. 859). The Last Supper provides the basis for the fourfold Eucharistic action of taking\, blessing\, breaking\, and sharing. Christ’s body and blood are really present in the sacrament of the Eucharist and received by faith. We also know Christ’s presence in the gathered eucharistic community. \n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer entitles the whole service the Holy Eucharist. \n\n\n\n\nThe first part of the service is designated the Word of God. It usually includes the entrance rite\, the lessons and gradual psalm\, the gospel\, the sermon\, the Nicene Creed\, the Prayers of the People\, the confession of sin and absolution\, and the Peace.\n\n\n\nThe second portion of the service is designated the Holy Communion. It includes the offertory\, the consecration of the bread and wine in the Great Thanksgiving\, the communion of the people\, and the concluding prayers of thanksgiving and dismissal. A blessing may be given prior to the dismissal.\n\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is also called the Lord’s Supper\, Holy Communion\, the Divine Liturgy\, the Mass\, and the Great Offertory (BCP\, p. 859). \n\n\n\nThe Hymnal\n\n\n\nThe Hymnal 1982 includes a section with a variety of hymns for the Holy Eucharist (Numbers 300 through 347)\, including the following: \n\n\n\n\n“Come\, risen Lord\, and deign to be our guest” (305 and 306)\n\n\n\n“My God\, thy table now is spread” (321)\n\n\n\n“Now\, my tongue\, the mystery telling” (329 through 331)\n\n\n\n“I am the bread of life” (335)\n\n\n\n\n(Above taken from Eucharist .)

We look forward to seeing you at this 8:00 am Sunday service of Holy Eucharist at Church of the Redeemer. It is in-person only. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to participate fully at Redeemer. \n\n\n\n\nAll races.\n\n\n\nAll religions.\n\n\n\nAll countries of origin.\n\n\n\nAll sexual orientations (including LGBTQ+).\n\n\n\nAll genders.\n\n\n\n\nEucharist\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is the sacrament of Christ’s body and blood\, and the principal act of Christian worship. The term is from the Greek\, “thanksgiving.” The Episcopal Church invites all baptized Christians to receive communion. \n\n\n\nJesus instituted the Eucharist “on the night when he was betrayed.” At the Last Supper he shared the bread and cup of wine at a sacred meal with his disciples. He identified the bread with his body and the wine with his blood of the new covenant. Jesus commanded his disciples to “do this” in remembrance of him. See these passages in Scripture: \n\n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 11:23-26\n\n\n\nMark 14:22-25\n\n\n\nMatthew 26:26-29\n\n\n\nLuke 22:14-20\n\n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist makes Christ’s sacrifice present. This unites us to Christ’s one self-offering (Book of Common Prayer\, p. 859). The Last Supper provides the basis for the fourfold Eucharistic action of taking\, blessing\, breaking\, and sharing. Christ’s body and blood are really present in the sacrament of the Eucharist and received by faith. We also know Christ’s presence in the gathered eucharistic community. \n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer entitles the whole service the Holy Eucharist. \n\n\n\n\nThe first part of the service is designated the Word of God. It usually includes the entrance rite\, the lessons and gradual psalm\, the gospel\, the sermon\, the Nicene Creed\, the Prayers of the People\, the confession of sin and absolution\, and the Peace.\n\n\n\nThe second portion of the service is designated the Holy Communion. It includes the offertory\, the consecration of the bread and wine in the Great Thanksgiving\, the communion of the people\, and the concluding prayers of thanksgiving and dismissal. A blessing may be given prior to the dismissal.\n\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is also called the Lord’s Supper\, Holy Communion\, the Divine Liturgy\, the Mass\, and the Great Offertory (BCP\, p. 859). \n\n\n\nThe Hymnal\n\n\n\nThe Hymnal 1982 includes a section with a variety of hymns for the Holy Eucharist (Numbers 300 through 347)\, including the following: \n\n\n\n\n“Come\, risen Lord\, and deign to be our guest” (305 and 306)\n\n\n\n“My God\, thy table now is spread” (321)\n\n\n\n“Now\, my tongue\, the mystery telling” (329 through 331)\n\n\n\n“I am the bread of life” (335)\n\n\n\n\n(Above taken from Eucharist .)

Hallelujah! \n\n\n\nThe Song of Mary: Magnificat\n\n\n\nMy soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord\, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; *    for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.From this day all generations will call me blessed: *   the Almighty has done great things for me\, and holy is his Name.He has mercy on those who fear him *   in every generation.He has shown the strength of his arm\, *   he has scattered the proud in their conceit.He has cast down the mighty from their thrones\, *   and has lifted up the lowly.He has filled the hungry with good things\, *   and the rich he has sent away empty.He has come to the help of his servant Israel\, *   for he has remembered his promise of mercy\,The promise he made to our fathers\, *   to Abraham and his children for ever. \n\n\n\nJames 5:7-10 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nBe patient\, therefore\, beloved\, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious crop from the earth\, being patient with it until it receives the early and the late rains. You also must be patient. Strengthen your hearts\, for the coming of the Lord is near. Beloved\, do not grumble against one another\, so that you may not be judged. See\, the Judge is standing at the doors! As an example of suffering and patience\, beloved\, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. \n\n\n\nMatthew 11:2-11 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nWhen John heard in prison what the Messiah was doing\, he sent word by his disciples and said to him\, “Are you the one who is to come\, or are we to wait for another?” Jesus answered them\, “Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight\, the lame walk\, the lepers are cleansed\, the deaf hear\, the dead are raised\, and the poor have good news brought to them. And blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me.”As they went away\, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to look at? A reed shaken by the wind? What then did you go out to see? Someone dressed in soft robes? Look\, those who wear soft robes are in royal palaces. What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes\, I tell you\, and more than a prophet. This is the one about whom it is written\,‘See\, I am sending my messenger ahead of you\,   who will prepare your way before you.’“Truly I tell you\, among those born of women no one has arisen greater than John the Baptist; yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

Please contact Alcoholics Anonymous for more information. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nWhat is Alcoholics Anonymous?\n\n\n\nAlcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy\, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. \n\n\n\nWhat A.A. does do: \n\n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.\n\n\n\nA.A. members share their experience with anyone seeking help with a drinking problem; they give person-to-person service or “sponsorship” to the alcoholic coming to A.A. from any source.\n\n\n\nThe A.A. program\, set forth in our Twelve Steps\, offers the alcoholic a way to develop a satisfying life without alcohol.\n\n\n\n\nThis program is discussed at A.A. group meetings. \n\n\n\n\nOpen speaker meetings — open to alcoholics and nonalcoholics. (Attendance at an open A.A. meeting is the best way to learn what A.A. is\, what it does\, and what it does not do.) At speaker meetings\, A.A. members “tell their stories.” They describe their experiences with alcohol\, how they came to A.A.\, and how their lives have changed as a result of Alcoholics Anonymous.\n\n\n\nOpen discussion meetings — one member speaks briefly about his or her drinking experience\, and then leads a discussion on A.A. recovery or any drinking-related problem anyone brings up. (Closed meetings are for A.A.s or anyone who may have a drinking problem.)\n\n\n\nClosed discussion meetings — conducted just as open discussions are\, but for alcoholics or prospective A.A.s only.\n\n\n\nStep meetings (usually closed) — discussion of one of the Twelve Steps.
