Anglican Church of the Resurrection, Cape Cod
What's Happening on Sunday...
We gather each Sunday, the Lord's Day, at 9 a.m at 94 Freemans Way in Brewster, the new home of Cape Cod Christian Academy. We are blessed to be able to meet in this new location for worship and fellowship.
On the first Sunday of each month, after we worship, we will share a meal. The 'regulars' will provide the food; visitors are invited to stay and enjoy the brunch and fellowship.
On the third Sunday of each month, the ministry of anointing with oil for the sick will be offered during the service. On other Sundays, a prayer team will be available following the service to pray with anyone who desires prayer for a particular concern.
We invite you to join us if you are a follower of Jesus, or if you desire to explore the Christian faith and life. We would be happy to have you with us!

‘Tis The Season… of Advent!
Beginning four Sundays before Christmas Day, the season of Advent is a time of preparation for the coming of Christ (Advent is from the Latin word for ‘to come’). Advent focuses attention on both the return of Christ at the end of history, as well as His birth some 2,000 years ago in Bethlehem. Hymns and songs used during the season reflect both themes at different times.
In many homes and some churches, an Advent wreath is used for devotions. For the first week (which began November 30 this year), one candle is lit. In succeeding weeks, an additional candle is lit each week, until four candles are lighted leading up to Christmas Eve, when a white Christ candle is added.
Traditions around the colors of the candles vary. Often there are four purple candles, or three purple and one rose candle. Anglicans do not legislate the color used! One Anglican custom is to use blue candles, which is the custom from Salisbury, called the Sarum use, Sarum being the Latin name for Salisbury. Blue is the color often associated with the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, and its use during Advent may reflect that connection.
Hymns and carols often are worthy to ponder. One such Advent hymn was written by Godfrey Thring (1823-1903). Here are the words to think about in this season of anticipation and remembrance:
​
Jesus came, the heavens adoring,
came with peace from realms on high.
Jesus came for our redemption,
lowly came on earth to die:
Alleluia, alleluia! Came in deep humility.
Jesus comes again in mercy,
when our hearts are bowed with care.
Jesus comes again in answer
to our earnest heart-felt prayer,
Alleluia, alleluia! Comes to save us from despair.
Jesus comes to hearts rejoicing,
bringing news of sins forgiven.
Jesus comes in sound of gladness,
leading souls redeemed to heaven.
Alleluia, alleluia! Now the gate of death is riven.
Jesus comes on clouds triumphant,
when the heavens shall pass away.
Jesus comes again in glory;
let us then our homage pay,
Alleluia, alleluia! Till the dawn of endless day.
In this Advent season, may the God of hope fill us all with joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit we may abound in hope (adapted from Romans 15:13).

When you visit us, you can expect a warm welcome, biblical preaching, and reverent worship. We raise our voices in heart-felt prayer, and in singing some of the great classic hymns of the Church as well as some of the theologically solid new ones (think CityAlight).
