The New Lectio Divina (Divine Reading) for 2019,

Beginning on the First Sunday In Advent

Today, we begin a new Lectio Divina designed to help all members of Holy Trinity Church read through the major portions of the Bible in chronological order. Though the Bible has 73 books, the main story of Biblical history is told in just 14 of those books. If we learn those 14 books, we will know the main scope of the Scriptures. Join us as we learn the story of Salvation from Scripture.

Mon Genesis chapters 1-3; Psalms 8

Tues Genesis 4-11; Psalms 19

Wed Genesis 12-17; Psalms 8

Thu Genesis 18-25; Psalms 50

Fri Genesis 26-30; Psalms 29

Sat Genesis 31-35; Psalms 23

Trinity Times Weekly Edition The First Sunday in Advent

Week of December 2nd, 2018

Holy Trinity Anglican Church & Lindisfarne Hall

Fernandina Beach, Florida

Happy New Year in Christ Jesus! Today marks the beginning of a new year in the Church calendar. To celebrate,

creche to the altar. Fr. Cunningham also has a new liturgical calendar for each

family. Be sure to pick yours up after the service (1 per family, please.)

The Christmas Creche on the Altar During Advent, the altar flowers are replaced with the Christmas creche. On

the First Sunday in Advent the scene is empty, with only the animals and the

shepherd present in the stable. Each week, the scene will grow as Mary and

Joseph find their way to Bethlehem. On Christmas Eve the baby Jesus will

appear in the manger. The creche will not be complete until the Sunday of

Epiphany when the three wise men arrive from afar. Look around the chapel

to track the wise men on their long journey to the manger.

Birthday and Anniversary Blessings Anyone wishing to receive a prayer and blessing will be invited to come forward. Participation is not compulsory, but all, including visitors are welcome.

Christmas Pageant Participants and Volunteers… Contact Mary Kay Young at 904-583-0349 or mkmime1@gmail.com for additional information.

Rehearsals, Sundays at 12 Noon, following the second Mass.

For The First Sunday in Advent 2018

Weekly Edition Extra!

Building on the success of our Thanksgiving Mountain

of Food, the students of Lindisfarne Hall are building a

“Mountain of Blankets and Socks” to help keep children

warm. This drive was created after learning from Hope

House that there is a great need for these two items

among the poor and the homeless. Examples of the

kinds of items needed are placed next to the Altar rail in

the chapel. All parishioners, students and their families

are invited to help meet this need to bless the poorest of

our community with blankets and warm socks for

children. THANK YOU!

NEEDED: Baby Blankets and Warm Socks

Planning Ahead: Holiday Schedule: November and December at Holy Trinity Anglican Church

Thank you for helping Lindisfarne Hall students build “A Mountain of Thanksgiving Food” for charity

Fr. Peter Joslyn, who recently accepted the call to

become our second Curate, will be preaching at both

Masses on the First Sunday in Advent. Fr. Peter and his

family are in town looking for housing in preparation

for their relocation to Holy Trinity Church. Please keep

the Joslyn family in your prayers and let us know if you

have insight into great deals for them as they join us

after the new year.

Welcome Fr. Peter, Erin and baby Bella Joslyn Students from House Falclere lead the effort

The students of Lindisfarne Hall extend their gratitude to the

parishioners at Holy Trinity for their generosity in helping

the them build a “Mountain of Food”. The students who

organized the drive along with their Head of House Falclere

Professor Kate Dinkins delivered the food to Hope House in

time for families and the homeless to have plenty of supplies

for the Thanksgiving holiday. Many people were blessed by

this effort. The staff at Hope House were so grateful they all

came out to see the mountain, meet our students and take a

few photos of their own.

A Great Thanksgiving Feast points ahead to a Fantastic Christmas Eve!

This year’s parish Thanksgiving Feast was a

great success, with almost 50 people sharing

Morning Prayer followed by a feast with a

fantastic menu. With that holiday behind us,

its time to look forward to the Christmas

celebrations. Each year at Holy Trinity we have

three major celebrations which each provide us

with the opportunity to fellowship with one

another and to invite friends and acquaintances

to experience our beloved parish: Christmas

Eve, the Parish Feast Day on Trinity Sunday, and

the Thanksgiving Feast. Christmas, the first

great opportunity for outreach, is rapidly approaching. Please plan to attend a Christmas Eve Mass and also to invite a

friend to join you. I’m praying God grants us the greatest opportunity ever to reach others with the good news of the

Incarnation of Jesus Christ and to introduce them to the most loving and most living congregation on the Island.
