Our Lady of Guadalupe Celebration at Community of Travelers December 12- 5pm

"Rejoice: the Lord is nigh." As Christmas draws near, the Church emphasizes the joy which should be in our hearts over all that the birth of our Savior means for us. The great joy of Christians is to see the day drawing nigh when the Lord will come again in His glory to lead them into His kingdom. The oft-repeated Veni ("Come") of Advent is an echo not only of the prophets but also of the conclusion of the Apocalypse of St. John: "Come, Lord Jesus," the last words of the New Testament.

In 1910 Our Lady of Guadalupe was declared Patroness of Latin America, and in 1945 Pope Pius XII declared Her to be the Empress of all the Americas. She appeared to an Indian convert named Juan Diego on December 9, 1531. She left a marvelous portrait of herself on the mantle of Juan Diego. This miraculous image has proved to be ageless, and is kept in the shrine built in her honor, the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

We will discuss the feminine imagery of God. This week's liturgy Pastor Dawn Roginski will co-preside with Pastor Tommy.

Join us on December 5 for our monthly Liturgical Potluck Dinner. This is a worship service that takes place within the context of a potluck dinner. Bring your foods that begin with the letter "C" to share with others. The service will take place at St Aidan's - downstairs in the Parish Hall. The service begins at 5 pm. All are welcome and you do not have to bring a dish in order to eat and worship with us!
