Welcome to the website of Church of the Advent of Christ the King, a parish of the Episcopal Church. We are an Anglo-Catholic church, that is, one with a strong emphasis on worship and the life of prayer. Here, in addition to a warm welcome by a diverse group of people, you will find an atmosphere of quiet reflection on the presence of God, great beauty in the visual aspects of corporate worship, and music that inspires and transforms. Here, through our life of prayer, you will find people committed to bringing the love of God, Incarnate in his Son, into the lives of all. I hope that we can touch your life with that love as you join us in worship of the Creator.

General Announcements

Flowers at the altar are given to the glory of God and in loving memory of Jeter, Jeannette Belle, and Jeannette Carolyn, parents and sister of Stephen Rucker.

Today at High Mass, we welcome the Revd Ricardo Avila serving as Deacon for the first time.

This week, use Proper 5 for the readings and collect when reciting the Daily Office (see BCP page 971 for the former and for the latter, page 229).

For Morning Prayer on Friday, if observing Sacred Heart, use Pss 36, 61; Jeremiah 31:1-11, 31-34; and Romans 8:28-39; and the collect printed on the back. If observing St Barnabas the Apostle, use the propers listed in the Prayer Book on p. 998 with the collect on p. 241.

Next Sunday, Fr Robert Kossler will celebrate at High Mass to mark the sixth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood, 5 June 2004.

Remember one and all to bring some simple edible (e.g., a bag of cookies from the grocery store) or drink next Sunday to share at coffee hour as we offer fellowship. As we have no designated hosts in the summer, any help setting up or cleaning up would be appreciated.

A gentle reminder from the Walsingham Cell that May was annual dues month: So far, Bonnie Barberini, Michael Barlowe +, Paul Burrows +, Eric Clark, Dominic George +, Michael Haines, John Porter +, Michael Stroup, Renee Schwartz, Suellen Thompson, and Pamela Vaughn have renewed. Please remember to mail your annual dues of $25 to the Church of the Advent, attention Pamela Vaughn, to ensure proper credit. If you have already sent your renewal yet are not listed here, please contact Pamela Vaughn at plvaughn@gmail.com.

The Deacons’ Fare on Memorial Day was a success, thanks to the 28 volunteers who showed hospitality in serving 400 plates to our 350 homeless guests in the parish garden. Special thanks to Christopher Fredricks and Daniel Schwartz for coördinating the event.

Wish List for Building and Grounds funds: Last year’s vestry paid for painting the Pitman room, yet the church did need to spend an additional $1,000 to reinstall the bookshelves and install the new shades in the Pitman and Bowersox Rooms. If willing to help replenish our Building and Grounds fund, please write your check to Advent, noting “Building and Grounds” in the memo line. Any amount would be appreciated.

Choral evensong will be offered next Sunday, 13 June, at St Francis’ Episcopal Church (399 San Fernando Way, SF) at 5:30pm, with the music culminating in Handel's Coronation Anthem II, “Let thy hand be strengthened.” A festive reception will follow in the Guild Hall.

Next Sunday's readings will be 2 Sam 11:26-12:10,13-15; Galatians 2:15-21; Luke 7:36-8:3.

Reflection Corner

Thank you, Jesus, for loving us:

“Almighty God, who suffered the heart of your Son to be wounded for our sins, and in that same heart bestowed upon us the riches of your love: Grant that the devotion of our hearts which we offer to him, may, by your mercy, be acceptable in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”

-- Collect for the Sacred Heart of Jesus
