church service videos 2023

The Christian Liturgical year is divided into s series of seasons where the life and works of Jesus are explained.  The first is Advent, the four Sundays before Christmas, starting on November 27th, 2022.  Christmas starts on December 25th and goes until Epiphany which begins on January 6th 2023.  Epiphany lasts until Lent which begins on Ash Wednesday on February 22nd.  Lent goes until Holy Week which starts on April 3rd until easter which is April 9th.  Easter ends on Pentecost and three days later the visitation of Mary to Elizabeth on May 31.  And finally the Ordinary Time which ends on Christ the King Sunday, November 26th.

 

We have broken the year into it’s seasons and here are the service videos:

Last two Sundays


November 26th worship Service

We have reached the end of that long summer and fall liturgical season called Ordinary Time, only this is no ordinary Sunday.  The season ends with Christ the King Sunday.

 

Probably the most basic of our foundation stones is that God is Sovereign.  Christ, God in human form, by nature is also Sovereign and therefore has dominion over all of creation.  We celebrate this dominion on the last Sunday of the liturgical year with the Feast of the Reign of Christ, where we give praise and thanks for the work Christ is doing in our world and in our lives. 

 

At First Presbyterian, we celebrate with the Hanging of the Greens as we decorate the sanctuary in preparation for the Advent Season which starts the new liturgical year (2023-2024) next Sunday on December 3rd.

November 19th worship service

It is almost over.  That Protestant season called Ordinary Time which stretches from Pentecost to Christ the King Sunday (the Sunday before Advent..this year November 26th).  And so our last Sunday in Ordinary Time is this Sunday, the Sunday before Thanksgiving.

 

Thanksgiving is a United States holiday, although it has slipped to a few other countries both officially and unofficially.  In the United States it dates back to the landing of the ship Margaret in Virginia on December 4, 1619 with the annual celebration for a safe journey written into the charter.  Most of us relate the holiday to the Pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts and the celebration of a good first harvest, usually pictured by a feast attended by settlers and the Native Americans who helped them through their first winter.

 

The thought behind the holiday is to be thankful.  It is a reminder to spend a little time focusing and appreciating what God has placed in our lives.  The thankful list is long including family, friends, jobs, health, community, faith, and that God is working in our lives every day.  We want to be like the leper who returned to Jesus, thankful that he had been healed (Luke 17:11-19).
