A Journey into Advent through The Gospels and the Canticles of the Incarnation
God's people have been praying the great Canticles of the Incarnation - the Canticle of Zechariah, the Canticle of Mary, and the Canticle of Simeon for nearly 2000 years. These memorable songs are the entryway into the liturgical seasons of Advent and Christmas. They are love poems to God, on the part of these three saints in anticipation of the Incarnation, God with us.
Brother James Dowd, a Benedictine monk in the Episcopal Church from Incarnation Monastery, will lead us through an exploration of these beloved Canticles as way to deepen our journey through Advent in anticipation of the Christmas season.
Please join us on the first three Wednesdays of Advent: December 4th, 11th, and 18th on Zoom at 7:00 PM, for an exploration of this love poetry.
As a complement to Brother James’ presentations, our Adult Forum will focus on the awe, fear and joy of the Incarnation as expressed in the gospels of John, Matthew and Luke. We will be using brief film clips to help fuel our conversations.
Join us on Dec. 8th, 15th and 22nd in the Parish Hall at 11:30 a.m. For more information and to sign-up for the Zoom link, email Fr. Dion at dthompson@stannes-annapolis.org, Katy Jensen at katymjensen@aol.com, or Jo Tetlow at jotetlow19@yahoo.com
