DESCRIPTION:Today is the Third Sunday of Advent (also known as Gaudete Sun
 day) and our focus this week is on John the Baptist who heralded the comin
 g of the Messiah.\n\nOur readings and liturgy direct us towards Christ's b
 irth and we endeavour to do so with a sense of alert watchfulness\, and ou
 r fundamental Advent prayer remains 'Maranatha' - 'Our Lord\, come' (1 Cor
 . 16:22).\n\nOur readings this week come from Zephaniah 3:14-20\; Philippi
 ans 4:4-7\; and Luke 3:7-18.\n\nOur hymns are\, 'Long ago\, prophets knew'
 \, and 'On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry'.\n\nYou may wish to have an ad
 vent wreath or candle to hand as we light this during our service.\n\nA se
 rvice booklet to accompany this service can be downloaded below.
