Advent 1

I made it to church this morning.... the English church... The Anglican Episcopal Church of St Peter adn St Sigfrid.  It is a beautiful old church built in the 1800's with gorgeous stained glass windows.  It reminded me of Westminster but was narrower. 

The service was quite nice but not very adventy.  They did have an advent wreath and they lit the candle of Hope and some of the hymns were from the advent section of the hymnal, but those were the only signs that it was advent.

I would however go back since the worship was good.  It does however take a long time and two buses and a subway to get there but it was worth the journey.  Maybe next week I will try the other English church with services at 6 pm..... still two buses and a subway but slightly closer to home.  

Hope your first day of advent was a good one.  Not too long until I will be home for Christmas..... 22 days and counting.
