WELCOME TO WORSHIP We hope your time here will be a blessing for you. We would like to give you information about the various ministries of the Parish: please ask one of the Welcomers or Sidespersons for a Parish Information Pack.

ADVENT Advent is a season of expectation and preparation, as the Church prepares to celebrate the coming (adventus) of Christ in his incarnation, and also looks ahead to his final advent as judge at the end of time. The readings and liturgies not only direct us towards Christ’s birth, they also challenge the modern reluctance to confront the theme of divine judgement: Every eye shall now behold him robed in dreadful majesty. (Charles Wesley) THE FIRST ADVENT CANDLE Keep awake! Be watchful! The Son of Man is coming with great power and glory. He shall judge the nations; they shall beat their swords into plowshares, nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. We light the first Advent candle reminding us that God’s promised Messiah will break into our time and space to teach us his ways that we may walk in his paths of righteousness and peace. May we stay alert for his coming. The first candle is lit Come, Lord Jesus. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Amen. PRAYER OF THE DAY Faithful God, whose promises stand unshaken through all generations: renew us in hope, that we may be awake and alert watching for the glorious return of Jesus Christ, our Judge and Saviour, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

FIRST READING Isaiah 2:1-5 A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah 1 The word that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. 2 In days to come the mountain of the Lord ’s house shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; all the nations shall stream to it. 3 Many peoples shall come and say, ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord , to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.’ For out of Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. 4 He shall judge between the nations, and shall arbitrate for many peoples; they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. 5 O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord ! Hear the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Psalm 122

Response: How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts. 1 I was glad when they said to me: ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord.’ 2 And now our feet are standing: within your gates, O Jerusalem; 3 Jerusalem which is built as a city: where the pilgrims gather in unity. 4 There the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: as he commanded Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord. 5 There are set thrones of judgement: …………………..Response the thrones of the house of David. 6 O pray for the peace of Jerusalem: may those who love you prosper.

7 Peace be within your walls: and prosperity in your palaces. 8 For the sake of my kindred and companions: I will pray that peace be with you. 9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God: I will seek for your good.…………………..Response SECOND READING Romans 13:9-14

A reading from the letter of Paul to the Romans 9 The commandments, ‘You shall not commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not covet’; and any other commandment, are summed up in this word, ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbour; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law. 11 Besides this, you know what time it is, how it is now the moment for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers; 12 the night is far gone, the day is near. Let us then lay aside the works of darkness and put on the armour of light; 13 let us live honourably as in the day, not in revelling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarrelling and jealousy. 14 Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

Hear the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. GOSPEL Matthew 24: 36-44

The Lord be with you. And also with you. Hear the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. Glory to you Lord Jesus Christ. 36 ‘But about that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 For as the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, 39 and they knew nothing until the flood came and swept them all away, so too will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Then two will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. 41 Two women will be grinding meal together; one will be taken and one will be left. 42 Keep awake therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. 43 But understand this: if the owner of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour.

For the Gospel of the Lord, Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.

SENTENCE OF THE DAY

Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths. Isaiah 2.3a

Freda Hayston

The Interment of Freda’s ashes will occur on Sunday 8 December, 2019, following the 7am Eucharist service. Her ashes will be placed in St Andrew’s Memorial Garden. All are welcome to join the family for Freda’s committal to her final resting place.

Thought for the day

Today is Advent Sunday, and the 1st of December and so officially we can start the count-down to Christmas! I remember the cardboard calendars I had as a child, with a chocolate behind each paper window, but today it seems that one can buy everything from a Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar, to ones with beauty products or rare teas. One website I saw even said you can have an Advent Calendar with biblical verses (!!).

The tradition of Advent Calendars to mark the progress through this season of anticipation dates back a long way and in church we traditionally light the four candles on the Advent Wreath Sunday by Sunday. There are many interpretations associated with these candles, with the two most common being Hope-Peace-Joy-Love or Patriarchs-Prophets-John-Mary. The liturgies we are using this year are based on the bible readings set for the four Sundays and highlight the anticipation of the coming of the Messiah.

There are also biblical based daily Advent Calendars. We will once again hang symbols on a Jesse Tree at St Andrew’s. Each of these tell part of the story of God’s great plan to bring salvation to humankind, which culminates in the incarnation – God becomes man in Jesus. June and I are going to read together ‘A Cat’s Advent Calendar’, which tell the same story, through the paws (so to speak) of the cats that perhaps witnessed the events of Moses, Isaiah, Mary and the Bethlehem stable.

Charity of the Month - Mercy Ships

The December “Charity of the Month” is Mercy Ships - a global charity that has operated hospital ships in developing nations for the past 40 years, bringing hope and healing to the forgotten poor by mobilising people and resources worldwide, serving all people without regard for race, gender or religion. Mercy Ships uses hospital ships to deliver free, world-class health care services, capacity building and sustainable aid in the developing world.

Their current ship, the Africa Mercy was deployed in 2007, and has five operating rooms, an 80-bed ward and can perform some 7,000 surgical procedures a year on-board including cataract removal/lens implants, tumour removal, cleft lip and palate reconstruction, orthopaedics and obstetric fistula repair. Mercy Ships recently reached the milestone of 100,000 surgical procedures, with a cleft-lip surgery performed by an Australian surgeon.

They also deploy land-based teams of volunteers to increase health and well-being using dental clinics, eye clinics, and medical capacity building programs that train local health care professionals in their fields of expertise to better serve their own people. The ship is crewed by volunteers including surgeons, dentists, nurses, health care trainers, teachers, cooks, seamen, engineers, and agriculturalists who donate their time and skills to the effort - over 1,200 volunteers from 40 nations each year. It is currently in Senegal where it will spend the next year. Mercy Ships is currently constructing a new ship which will join the African Mercy and more than double the charity’s capacity to make a positive impact in surgical health care delivery in areas around the world where access is limited—bringing hope and healing. For more information, visit their website www.mercyships.org.au/

Parish Council Notes At their last meeting the following were discussed by the council: • Parish Office. It was agreed to close the office at 3pm daily to allow the administrator to

work un-interrupted for the last hour of the day to ensure that activities are completed. Our transition to NBN and a VOIP telephone system is completed.

• Finance. Offerings for October $12,546 (budget $12,947). Market day fundraising made a great addition. Year to date deficit is $18,631, much less than budgeted because of the concerted efforts of many. 2020 draft budget to be presented to next meeting.

• Buildings. It was agreed to investigate lighting for the toilet block at St Thomas’ and to seal the rattling windows at St Andrew’s. The repositioning of the shade cloth to the upper grassed area at St Andrew’s will also be considered.

• Water tanks. It was agreed to investigate the feasibility of installing water tanks at St Andrew’s.

• Parish concerns. A vigorous discussion about the concerns of the parish was held.

A big thank you to everyone who attended the Fish & Chip lunch on Sunday to celebrate St Andrew’s day. It was a joyous lunch, followed by Advent reflections and hymns thoughtfully chosen and presented by Timothy, June and the choir. Especial thanks to Paul who stepped in and accompanied the singers at short notice. It was a wonderful day of celebration and fellowship. The Wardens

Looking for a different gift for someone special? Choose a Maher-Watson Potted Gladiola....a gift that will go on giving for years to come. Stock is now limited, free local delivery can be arranged.....a bargain at just $10.

HELP NEEDED: In today’s world, a digital presence is essential. Our parish has a website and Facebook page and we are looking for someone who is willing to keep this up-to-date. Training is available if you are interested, but do not feel you have the skills. Please speak to Rev’d Timothy if you think you may be able to help. OTHER NOTICES: OUTREACH TO DIAMOND VALLEY: Diamond Valley Lodge was begun by a Christian family for adults with varying degrees of mental difficulties whose parents could no longer care for them. It was previously visited by someone from St. Andrews and Libbie Crossman asked Glasshouse Mothers Union to undertake this ministry. We visited twice a year taking food for morning or afternoon tea and at Christmas time, gifts for each resident. Our Mothers’ Union branch has now closed but we hope that the support will continue. Most are now Lone Members of Mothers Union and we hope for financial support to buy gifts for the 32 residents. If you can help please put your donation in a marked envelope in the collection plate. Thank you Pam Innes

RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION IN SCHOOLS: Caloundra Primary School is in need of two instructors. If you are interested in becoming an RI instructor please contact Sue Morgan, RI Coordinator, Caloundra Primary School—email [email protected]

The Parish Council would like to present an Alpha Course at St Andrew’s early next year, on Fridays 9.30am—11.30am, commencing 31 January and finishing 3 April (just before Easter). There will be ten weekly sessions plus Saturday 7 March, when we learn more about the Holy Spirit. The course is an overview of the Christian faith so it is great for those who have questions or want

to investigate Christianity as well as being a back to basics course for Christians. Into the bargain, it’s a chance to make new friends and have fun together.

Speak to Rev Timothy, Cathy Richards or Anne Bowyer for more information.
