Praying the Daily Office
Can You Help? Morning Prayer is prayed here at the Church of the Advent seven days a week: Sundays at 7:30 AM, Monday through Friday at 9:00 AM, Saturdays and holidays at 8:30 AM. This is a wonderful and appropriate way to begin the day, for the Clergy especially, but also for the others who attend the service. 

Evening Prayer is scheduled to be prayed at 5:30 PM Monday through Friday. Because of evening programs and pastoral responsibilities, it is becoming more and more difficult for the Clergy alone to maintain these Monday through Friday services, and so we badly need volunteers to conduct Evening Prayer if the present schedule is to continue. 

Think about this, and if you are able to take on one of these evening services, please speak to Fr Warren or Fr Wood.
Consecration of the 16th Bishop
The Rev'd Alan Gates will be consecrated as the 16th Bishop of the Diocese of Massachusetts on Saturday, September 13, at 11:00 AM. The service will take place in Boston University's Agganis Arena, 925 Commonwealth Avenue. You must have a ticket to attend. They are, of course, free, and may be obtained by calling 617-482-4826 ext 687, or by going to the Diocesan website, www.diomass.org. Be aware that the deadline for getting tickets is August 15th.
New Elevator Coming!
The installation of the new elevator is proceeding apace! The frame of the shaft and the three doors are installed. The next step will be to install the tower and cab of the elevator. Thanks for your continued patience with this project..

Sunday's Collect
Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom, who knowest our necessities before we ask and our ignorance in asking: Have compassion, we beseech thee, upon our infirmities, and those things which for our unworthiness we dare not, and for our blindness we cannot ask, mercifully give us for the worthiness of thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
