Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. "Lord now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace" – the words of the aged Simeon upon seeing Jesus when he was presented at the temple. These are the opening words of the Nunc Dimittis which St Bride's Choir sings every week as part of Choral Evensong. This setting opens our reflection and was composed by Herbert Howells as his mother lay dying in his home town of Lydney in 1946 and is one of his most moving settings. Our reading from Luke tells of the appearance of the risen Christ on the road to Emmaus and how his followers only recognised him when he breaks and blesses bread with them. Alison reflects on her own parallel experience of failing to recognise someone she knew well until the right clues were given. We close with "Thine be the glory" – a hugely popular Easter hymn which is sung to a tune from Handel's oratorio Judas Maccabeus.

Order of Service: - Prelude - The Confession of Sin (p. 120) - Hymn 297 - Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted - The Versicles (pp. 120-121) - The Gloria Patri (p. 121) - Hymn 500 - O Thou That Hear'st When Sinners Cry: vv. 1, 2, 4, 6 - Mark 14:53-72: And they led Jesus away to the high priest; and with him were assembled all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes. But Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the servants and warmed himself at the fire. Now the chief priests and all the council sought testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none. For many bore false witness against Him, but their testimonies did not agree. Then some rose up and bore false witness against Him, saying, “We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.' ” But not even then did their testimony agree. And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, saying, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?” But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “What further need do we have of witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death. Then some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers struck Him with the palms of their hands. Now as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came. And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with Jesus of Nazareth.” But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are saying.” And he went out on the porch, and a rooster crowed. And the servant girl saw him again, and began to say to those who stood by, “This is one of them.” But he denied it again. And a little later those who stood by said to Peter again, “Surely you are one of them; for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.” Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this Man of whom you speak!” A second time the rooster crowed. Then Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And when he thought about it, he wept. - Homily - The Versicle (p. 122) - The Canticle (p. 123) - The Nunc Dimittis (p. 124) - The Kyrie (p. 124) - The Lord's Prayer (p. 125) - Hymn 584 - Grant Peace, We Pray, in Mercy, Lord - The Collect (pp. 125-127) - The Benedicamus (p. 127) - The Benediction (p. 127) - Hymn 333 - Christ, the Life of All the Living: vv. 1, 2,7 - Postlude Service Participants: Graham Parsons (Preacher), John Baumann (Organist)

Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. St Bride's Choir begins this week's reflection with Henry Purcell's setting of the Nunc Dimittis – those words of the aged Simeon when Christ was presented for the first time in the temple: "Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: for mine eyes have seen thy salvation..." They are sung or said at every Evensong service and we particularly hold them in mind on this, the feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple. St Bride's Choir sings Choral Evensong in church each Sunday at 5:30pm. Alison begins her reflection with a brief biography of Brigid of Kildare, our matron saint whose feast day also falls today. Like many early Celtic saints it can be difficult to disentangle fact from folklore, made more so in Bride's case as she shares her name with a Celtic pagan goddess. We close with the hymn "O praise ye the Lord!" sung to the rousing tune by Sir Charles Hubert Parry. The hymn is the closing section of his anthem "Hear my words, O ye people."

Order of Service: - Prelude - The Confession of Sin (p. 120) - Hymn 184 - My Faith Looks Up To Thee - The Versicles (pp. 120-121) - The Gloria Patri (p. 121) - Psalm 117 (p. 189; Tone 1) - 1 Corinthians 13:1-13: Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. - The Nunc Dimittis (p. 124) - The Kyrie (p. 124) - The Lord's Prayer (p. 125) - Hymn 584 - Grant Peace, We Pray, in Mercy, Lord - The Collect (pp. 125-127) - The Benedicamus (p. 127) - The Benediction (p. 127) - Hymn 561 - Abide With Me; Fast Falls the Eventide: vv. 1, 6, 8 - Postlude Service Participants: Adam Hoeft (Preacher), Ryan Samek (Organist)

Order of Service: - Prelude - The Confession of Sin (p. 120) - Hymn 186 - Ye Parents, Hear What Jesus Taught - The Versicles (pp. 120-121) - The Gloria Patri (p. 121) - Ephesians 6:1-4: Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.” And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord. - Homily - The Versicle (p. 122) - The Nunc Dimittis (p. 124) - The Kyrie (p. 124) - The Lord's Prayer (p. 125) - Hymn 584 - Grant Peace, We Pray, in Mercy, Lord - The Collect (pp. 125-127) - The Benedicamus (p. 127) - The Benediction (p. 127) - Hymn 178 - I Pray Thee, Dear Lord Jesus - Postlude Service Participants: Chaplain Don Moldstad (Preacher), Rev.

We now come to our last song that is sung by an aged man who not only holds Jesus in his arms but also sees him with his eyes. It is titled Simeon's Nunc Dimittis. That phrase means “Now let depart”

December 21, 2025. Pastor Zach Vaughn. www.machiasvalley.org   Text: Luke 2:29-32   Sermon Points: 1) Cling to God's promises by faith in the waiting. 2) Salvation is found solely in the person of Jesus. 3) Christmas is a global invitation to a dark world. 

Andrew Lovette preaches on Luke 2:22-40 on Sunday, December 21, 2025.Main Idea:  Receive Christ with joy. Reveal Christ to the world. Rest in the peace only Christ gives.⁠⁠

Luke 2:27-32. Christmas is a season of waiting—waiting for family gatherings, favorite traditions, and yes, the presents. But what happens when the waiting feels long… or even exhausting? In this message, we step into the story of Simeon in Luke 2 and rediscover the heart of Advent: waiting with hope rooted in God's promises. This message reminds us that real peace doesn't come from perfect situations, but from promises fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Together we explore what it means to truly see Jesus—not as an idea or inspiration, but as our salvation. We're challenged to remember that Jesus saves all people, to move toward those far from God, and to hold fast to the peace that comes from knowing Christ.For upcoming events and important announcements at Skyline, visit our Facebook page for the latest details!If you'd like to check out more resources, get to know Skyline Church, or donate to our ministry and missions please visit www.skylineofallon.com.

Simeon waited his whole life for one moment—to hold the Messiah. When it finally happens, he doesn't cling to hope. He releases it.In this Advent reflection on Luke 2, we explore Simeon's song (Nunc Dimittis) and what it teaches us about peace, waiting, generosity, and faith in an unfinished world. Christmas isn't about getting everything we want—it's about becoming the kind of people who pass hope forward.If you've ever wondered whether believing still matters when the world hasn't changed yet, this story is for you.

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world— our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? - Soul, Be Still: Soul, be still, await God's will. We are safe in His wise keeping, Surely grief for joy makes way, Laughter fain would follow weeping, Legions e'er His call obey. God doth guide thee as a Father. Soul, be still. Soul, be still, await God's will. Unforeseen, the dawn appearing, Will allay all fear and doubt, Why delay your joy, despairing, Grief and worry put to rout. God doth guide the as a Father.
