The Third Sunday of Advent Service at St. George’s Anglican Cathedral-Jerusalem.

Bishop Hosam Naoum, the Anglican Archbishop in Jerusalem, presided over the Eucharist on the Third Sunday of Advent (Rejoicing Sunday), on December 11th, 2022. The Advent Wreath candles were lit by our partners from the Evangelical Mission in Solidarity (EMS) from Germany. Rev’d Canon Wadie Far, Rev’d Canon Don Binder, and Dean Richard Sewell assisted Bishop Naoum in the service, while Bishop Martin Field proclaimed the Gospel. Archbishop Linda Nicholls, the Primate of Canada, preached at the service. Immediately after the service the Annual Christmas Bazaar was opened at the St. George’s Guest House. The proceeds from the Bazaar will be donated to one of our Diocesan Institutions. It is worth mentioning that this Bazaar is organised by the Laddies from both the Arabic and English speaking congregations at the Cathedral.

At the service and bazzar we were also joined by Rev’d Canon Hatim Shihadeh Mrs. Lisa Nassar Shihadeh, and a group from the Anglican congregation in Haifa.

We continue together on our faith journey towards the Manger to behold new born Babe who’s the savior of the world.

Blessed Advent to all and a Happy Christmas.
