A hallmark of Lutheran tradition during the season of Advent is our midweek Advent worship services. This year, we will offer these midweek services at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church of Cordova at 6:30pm, on selected Thursdays.
The evening Advent services on November 13th, November 20th, December 4th, December 11th, and December 18th will be Contemplative Communion Services.
These services will feature time for quiet contemplation, Scripture, prayer, meditative song and music, and a simplified celebration of Holy Communion.
In each of these services, there will be time for quiet prayer and worshipers will be offered an opportunity to come forward to light individual candles as they offer their own prayers.
The Advent Contemplative Service is to be a balm for the soul during a hectic season. While the world may be at full speed, we are not. This worship opportunity is to help us move away from the loud and even oppressive nature of the world around us and draw closer to Jesus, who says, “come away with me and rest awhile.”
