Christmas 2019 at St. Christopher's

We are a small church, yet we have decided to celebrate the Nativity of our Lord on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  The thinking behind this is that it is more important to have opportunity for as many folks as possible.  Some families gather in their homes on Christmas Eve and others on Christmas Day, so this year we are embracing the values of availability and opportunity and praying for the Lord's blessing through us for the community and also to us because of all those who come and worship this Christmas.

August 6 - Feast of the Transfiguration

The Feast of the Transfiguration - August 6
The following content is from justus.anglican.org

Today we celebrate the occasion (recorded in Matthew 17:1-8 = Mark 9:2-8 = Luke 9:28-36) on which Christ, as He was beginning to teach His disciples that He must die and rise again, revealed Himself in shining splendor to Peter, James, and John.  Moses and Elijah were present, and are taken to signify that the Law and the Prophets testify that Jesus is the promised Messiah.  God the Father also proclaimed him as such, saying, "This is my Beloved Son.  Listen to him."  For a moment the veil is drawn aside, and men still on earth are permitted a glimpse of the heavenly reality, the glory of the Eternal Triune God.
In the East, the Festival of the Transfiguration has been celebrated since the late fourth century, and is one of the twelve great festivals of the East Orthodox calendar.  In the West it was observed after the ninth century by some monastic orders, and in 1457 Pope Callistus III ordered its general observance.  At the time of the Reformation, it was still felt in some countries to be a "recent innovation," and so was not immediately taken over into most Reformation calendars, but is now found on most calendars that have been revised in the twentieth century.  A recent tendency in the West is to commemorate the Transfiguration on the Sunday just before Lent, in accordance with the pattern found in the Synoptics, where Jesus is represented as beginning to speak of his forthcoming death just about the time of the Transfiguration, so that it forms a fitting transition between the Epiphany season, in which Christ makes himself known, and the Lenten season, in which he prepares the disciples for what lies ahead.  Whether observing the Transfiguration then will affect the observation of it on 6 August remains to be seen.

July 25 is the day that the church celebrates the life of St. Christopher, his ministry and his faithfulness to martyrdom.

Collect of St. Christopher:  Almighty God, you have blessed your servant and martyr Christopher with a beautiful name:  Teach us also to be true Christbearers to those who do not know you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.  Amen.

Below is a link to an article and also a video about our patron saint.
Here is a brief and well-written article about St. Christopher from Franciscan Media.
