Welcome

Welcome to the Live Liturgy! We’ve worked hard to make your worship experience engaging with God, engaging with each other, and engaged with your whole self, right where you are. You are not a spectator at a distance; you are a participant in a collaborative moment. We are here. Together. And I’m so glad to be with you. Welcome to worship. Welcome to church. Welcome, this morning, to Advent Anglican.

Fr Aaron Burt+

Before Worship

What to Have on Hand

  1. A Bible.

  2. Something to write with.

  3. A notecard to write a brief note to someone.

  4. A bulletin. Liturgical worship is not something you watch a leader do; it’s something we all do together, collaboratively and in real time.

How to Prepare Your Space and Yourself

  1. Prepare your room: Shut the door. Turn off ringers. Dim lights. Add a candle.

  2. Prepare yourself: Upgrade from pajamas to an outfit that tells yourself, “This is important.” Finish tasks (like making breakfast or coffee, etc.) rather than carrying them into “the sanctuary” with you.

Engage a friend

  • Connect with someone who is planning to do the Live Liturgy as well. Send a group text asking if they are “at church” with you.

  • You can send a friend request on Facebook to people you haven’t connected with yet and message fellow attendees.

  • INVITE A FRIEND who you think might be curious about church... or curious to see how your church is flexing with the times. Now, before worship begins, is a great time send them an invitation.

During Worship

Live Liturgy

The Live Liturgy will run a little over an hour. It is a live event, starting promptly at 10:00 a.m. Click to set a Reminder through Facebook now and join the event at 10:00 a.m.

We are using Facebook’s “Premiere Video” option, which allows for plenty of community interaction—before, after, and even during the event. You DO NOT have to have a Facebook account to view the event, AND I have made effort to incorporate people who are NOT on Facebook in the interactive components of our worship. You’ll be able to participate fully, regardless of your status with Facebook.

  • You can send a check to the parish's mailing address: PO Box 3372, Kirkland, WA 98083-3372.

Receiving and Giving Prayer

Intercessory Prayer with Clergy: If you’d like Fr. Aaron to pray with you on Tuesdays and Thursdays in April, please sign up for a 15-minute one-on-one prayer session via Calendly by clicking the Calendly link. If you sign up, please include your cell number in the “notes” and I will call you at the appointed time.

Take a moment to connect—or make plans to connect—with your brothers and sisters in Christ. Need ideas?

  • Chat with others on our Facebook page!

  • Make plans with a friend to talk on the phone while you prepare lunch or while you each take an afternoon walk!
