Welcome to the page for the live-stream of the weekly Sunday Morning Holy Communion service from Christ Church Anglican in Southern Pines, NC. Each Sunday’s live-stream can always be found here on this page.

In addition to the live-stream, we also run a recording of the service in case live-streaming isn’t possible or fails mid-stream. If for some reason the stream fails to start, or halts mid-stream (“spinning circle”) and never starts again- check the Media archive page later in the day to see if a recording was posted for that service.

For those that want to watch the service on the YouTube page vice watching here, this is the link to today’s live-stream:https://youtube.com/live/xg3opaNFBhQ

Hymns for this Sunday- hymn numbers are from the 1940 Hymnal:

Hymns:

Nota Bene: In lieu of the Gradual and Alleluia being chanted by our cantor, we will be singing a Gradual Hymn, bracketing the reading of the Gospel: the first two verses will be sung before the Gospel is read, and the second two after.

During Advent, we will use the classic hymn “O come, O come, Emmanuel” – based on the ancient “Great O” Advent antiphons, each citing a Christological title or role of the Messiah, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, from the Prophets – as our Gradual hymn, bracketing the Gospel reading with two verses from that hymn: one before, and one after.

Today, on this Second Sunday of Advent, we will sing the 3rd verse before, and the 4th after, the Gospel. Next Sunday, the 5th and 6th; and the Last Sunday of Advent, the Sunday next before Christmas Day itself, we will sing verse 7 before, and reprise verse 1 after, the Gospel.
