If you are looking for a way to bring deeper meaning and a healthy rhythm to the crazy commercialism of the American Christmas experience, grab a copy of Christmastide: Prayers for Advent Through Epiphany by Phyllis Tickle. This modern adaptation of the sixth-century Benedictine Rule of fixed-hour prayer puts preselected prayers, psalms, readings, and refrains in your hands for everyday of the Christmas season. The daily offices are for morning, noon, and vespers.
Welcome
Proskuneo: to kiss towards or to bow down in reverence. My name is Vic Hammond and I love to curate worship experiences. In this blog you will find my thoughts and reactions to the changes going on within the church and in wider culture. You will also find a variety of resources for use in your own worship gatherings. Each blog entry is tagged with a label/category (reflection, resource, station, liturgy, and news) to make your searching easier. I hope you enjoy your visit.
If you are looking for custom worship resources, music, or booking information please contact me at vic@vichammond.com.
