The Georgetown Ecumenical Wholeness Service continues in-person services in 2021-2022, with its fourth gathering on December 12. This will be our signature “Christmas by Candlelight” service, which features congregational caroling with a procession of candles. The topic for this evening will be “Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.” This evening’s meditation will be delivered by Rev. Dr. Ann Hagmann.
This season, we will meet at San Gabriel Presbyterian Church, Georgetown Texas. All services are open to the public.
As before, we will pray together by combining two very special types of worship services: the Service of Healing and Wholeness and Taizé Common Prayers. We are a diverse community of area Christians, and these services are open to all who would come. Songs are sung from the Community of Taizé. Opportunities are given for intercessory prayer and the lighting of candles. A time is set aside for anointing by ministers. Communion is offered to all in attendance, with pre-packaged and gluten-free elements available.
About the meditations: Our subject for the coming season is, “The Lord’s Prayer.” Brief homilies will be prepared by area ministers, and guided by a senior pastor. Scripture will be selected for meditation based on each topic. 2021-2022 topics are:
| September 26 | Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. | Rev. Steve Buchele | |
| October 24 | Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. | Rev. Mary Powell | |
| November 21 | Give us this day our daily bread. | Jim Deuser | |

| February 27 | But deliver us from evil. | Rev. Steve Buchele | |

About COVID-19 and safety: All are welcome at the Georgetown Ecumenical Wholeness Service. While COVID continues to challenge us, we will provide for in-person worship with a well-ventilated, flexible space where social distancing and close seating are both possible.
We hope to see you, our friends and neighbors, in 2021-2022.
