A fun time was had by all as we celebrated, chalking our doors to bless all who enter in the next year, and shared the King's Cake, where symbols of ministry were hidden for those attending to find in their slice and carry out a specific ministry in the coming year. Last year, Karen Fraser received the symbol that gave her the task of providing this year's cake. Mike and Bob do the work of chalking while Tim and Caroline enjoy the evening.
Worship is like a drama: The clergy, ministers and musicians are the prompters, the people are the actors, and God is the audience.
- Søren Kierkegaard
At St Benedict we celebrate with awe and obligation in a construct called liturgy. Liturgy is a Greek word that means “the work of the people.” Our services are focused through scripture reading, song, prayers, preaching, and the liturgy of the table, known also as Holy Eucharist.
