A
Procession with Carols upon Advent Sunday St. Barnabas Anglican Church Dunwoody, GA
"A Procession with Carols upon Advent Sunday," was created in 1934 by Rev. Eric Milner-White, who created the King's College Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols in 1918-1919. He wrote: In the old English liturgies, the Advent Offices made a preparation for the coming of our Lord to this earth far more vivid and eager than those of our present Prayer book. So an Advent Carol Service, if without precedent, is not without suitability, if it helps to express "the desire of all nations and ages." The purpose of the Service,

Ordination of Paul Chikos at St. Alban's, Tacoma, WA Diocese of the West
Left to right: The Reverend Craig D. Luesing, Rector, St. Alban’s Anglican Church; Paul Chikos, Ordinand; The Reverend Creighton Barnes, Jacksonville, Oregon; Bishop Grundorf; The Reverend Robert W. Hawkins, Ordinand, Wilsonville, Oregon. On November I, 2008, All Saints Day, Bishop Grundorf visited St. Alban’s Church in Tacoma, WA. Paul Chikos was ordained a deacon, and appointed Curate for the parish. Bishop Grundorf was assisted in the service by Fr. Craig D. Luesing, Rector of St. Alban’s Church, Fr. Creighton Barnes of Jacksonville, Oregon, and Robert W. Hawkins from Wilsonville, Oregon. The ordination was attended by about forty parishioners, family, and friends, and was followed by a reception in the parish hall. The church members presented the Reverend Paul Chikos with several stoles as their gift to him. St. Alban’s Parish has an interesting history. It was founded more than 25 years ago, and currently shares a building with Gloria Dei Lutheran Church. Approximately one year ago, a down cycle occurred. Many of the parishioners had passed away or moved out of state. The parish was becoming financially unviable. There was even talk of having to close the doors. But there was also much prayer… and our prayers were answered. Since then the parish has grown more than 45%. We are now able to pay our bills, and even more important, a traditional Anglican presence remains here in the Tacoma area. Thanks be to God. |
