Lessons and Carols Hymn Bracket

Help us choose the hymns for our Lessons & Carols service!

Here's all you need to do: just pick the hymn you like better from each pair, and... that's it!

We'll share the weekly link in the worship email each week, on our YouTube livestream, and as a QR Code in the church to an online form where you can vote. We'll also have paper ballots to cast your vote in the Narthex. If there’s a hymn you’re passionate about maybe a bit of good natured campaigning is in order!

The link for this week is https://forms.office.com/r/ektaLMNzXS

Each week's poll will be available from Friday to Tuesday - so get your votes in early!

Don't know a particular hymn? We've listed the hymn number (and book) to help you out, and there are hymnals available in the Narthex. Or, send an email to Rev.AlexaWallace@gmail.com and she’ll send you a link to listen on YouTube.

As a congregation, we'll narrow it down to 8 - 2 each from the "Classics," Evangelical Lutheran Worship (Cranberry Book), Common Praise (the Blue Anglican book), and some new favourites from All Creation Sings (the new purple Lutheran hymn book) and Sing a New Creation (the new Purple Anglican hymn book). Then Pastor Kirk and our wonderful musicians will choose hymns from our shortlist to create our service of Lessons & Carols! (Of course, they might add some of their favourites too!.)

Blessings on your weekend!

October 20, 2023
Dear members of the ELCIC, 
Your bishops are writing to you today with heavy hearts, full of concern for the war between Israel and Hamas. We grieve deeply with the people of Israel and Gaza whose lives have been horrifically impacted by unspeakable violence. 
As you may know, we were all in the region last January. We are concerned for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land, a church whose Bishop Ibrahim Sani Azar, pastors and people we have come to know and care for. We are concerned for other churches in the region especially the Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem. 
But today, we are particularly concerned for the people of Gaza and the West Bank who are receiving harsh reprisals as a result of the horrific massacre by Hamas in Israel. We are concerned for hospitals that are being bombed, most tragically the Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza, run by Diocese of Jerusalem with partnerships in cancer care from The Lutheran World Federation’s (LWF) Augusta Victoria Hospital in East Jerusalem. 
The LWF, with member churches around the world including in the Holy Land, released a statement condemning all attacks by all parties on civilians in Israel and Palestine. They expressed grave concerns about the targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure, called for a release of hostages, urging all parties to uphold International Humanitarian Law.
We are concerned about the rise in antisemitic and anti-Islamic words and actions in our communities and across the world. We pray that all people of faith may embody peace rather than incite hate. 
Please join us in prayer and concern for the region. For those who mourn their dead on both sides of the conflict. For the hostages and their families, afraid for their lives. For those who have been maimed and injured. For those who have lost their homes. For those who have not been able to move to safety. For the opening of a humanitarian corridor into Gaza. For a peaceful solution to this war. That the war may not escalate into neighbouring countries. 
"God of peace, we pray for peace between Israel and Hamas. We pray for leaders on both sides that their hearts would be changed and there would be a peaceful ending to this war. God of comfort and strength, we pray for all those who have suffered in this war – those who mourn, the injured, those who live in fear. We pray for those who continue to try to provide aid and medical care – workers who risk their lives. Bring us all hope, bring us all strength, bring us all peace. In your holy and life-giving name we pray, Amen."
Yours in Christ, 
Rev. Susan Johnson, ELCIC National Bishop
Rev. Kathy Martin, British Columbia Synod Bishop
Rev. Dr. Larry Kochendorfer, Synod of Alberta and the Territories Bishop
Rev. Dr. Sid Haugen, Saskatchewan Synod Bishop
Rev. Jason Zinko Manitoba/Northwestern Ontario Synod Bishop
