Sentence:
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came to bear witness to the light. John 1: 6,7
Collect:
God our strength and our hope, grant us the courage of John the Baptist, constantly to speak the truth, boldly to rebuke vice and patiently to suffer for the truth’s sake; in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
Zephaniah 3: 14-20
14 Sing aloud, O daughter Zion; shout, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter Jerusalem! 15 The Lord has taken away the judgments against you, he has turned away your enemies. The king of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst; you shall fear disaster no more. 16 On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: Do not fear, O Zion; do not let your hands grow weak. 17 The Lord, your God, is in your midst, a warrior who gives victory; he will rejoice over you with gladness, he will renew you in his love; he will exult over you with loud singing 18 as on a day of festival. I will remove disaster from you, so that you will not bear reproach for it. 19 I will deal with all your oppressors at that time.
And I will save the lame and gather the outcast, and I will change their shame into praise and renown in all the earth. 20 At that time I will bring you home, at the time when I gather you; for I will make you renowned and praised among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes, says the Lord.
Isaiah 12: 2-6 (for the Psalm)
2 Surely God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid, for the Lord God is my strength and my might; he has become my salvation. 3 With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. 4And you will say in that day: Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name;
make known his deeds among the nations; proclaim that his name is exalted. 5 Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously; let this be known in all the earth. 6 Shout aloud and sing for joy, O royal Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.
Philippians 4: 4-7
4Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. 6Do not worry

about anything, but in everything by pray-er and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Luke 3: 7-18
7John said to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8Bear fruits worthy of repentance. Do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our ancestor’; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham. 9Even now the axe is lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10And the crowds asked him, “What then should we do?” 11In reply he said to them, “Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise.” 12Even tax collec-tors came to be baptized, and they asked him, “Teacher, what should we do?” 13He said to them, “Collect no more than the amount prescribed for you.” 14Soldiers also asked him, “And we, what should we do?” He said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone by threats or false accusation, and be satisfied with your wages.”
15As the people were filled with expecta-tion, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Messiah, 16John answered all of them by saying, “I baptize you with water; but one who is more powerful than I is coming; I am not worthy to untie the
4
thong of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 17His winnow-ing fork is in his hand, to clear his thresh-ing floor and to gather the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”
18So, with many other exhortations, he proclaimed the good news to the people.
See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then, suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come … Then, suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come … Then, suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come … --- Malachi 3: 1Malachi 3: 1Malachi 3: 1

AdventWord – be part of a
Global Advent Calendar
A fun and reflective way to move through the season of Advent, by being part of a global online Advent Calendar called AdventWord.
How it works is: each morning you re-ceive an email with a meditation with a word and a picture. After reading the meditation, you snap a picture that re-flects the theme, or your response to it, and post it to Instagram and other social media. The pictures combine to create the Advent Calendar in real time, with contributions from all around the world.
Here in New Zealand AdventWord was launched at 5.00am last Sunday 29th November, First in Advent. Sign up on AdventWord.org for your own Advent Calendar online.
A member of the ministry team is available in the Resurrection Chapel during Communion at the 10.00am Choral Eucharist service in the Ca-thedral, for anyone who wishes personal prayer, or prayer for a specific purpose, and/or anointing with oil for healing (if required).
If you wish to have someone pray with and for you, please go directly to the Resurrection Chap-el (at the back of the Cathedral) after receiving communion.
