Worship Service " Stir Up!"

In our faith tradition, the last Sunday of the Church Year is known as “Reign of Christ Sunday” or “Christ the King Sunday.” In some parts of the world, it is also known as “Stir Up Sunday” where people get ready for Christmas by preparing Christmas Fruit Cake or Plum Pudding. A part of the reason for this is that the traditional opening prayer for this Sunday begins with “Stir up your power, O Lord, and come.” Hearing these words would remind families to go home after church and “stir up” a fruit cake or plum pudding together that would be served later as part of the Christmas celebrations. The picture we are using for this introduction for Sunday is an example of a family stirring things up. In celebration of the Reign of Christ, the realization of God’s dream for the world, and Stir Up Sunday, we at Eden will be stirring up our own fruit cake together as part of our worship service. We will hear a story of how making a fruit cake brought a community together during a difficult time and be reflecting on the different ingredients of a fruit cake as they relate to our community and the life of faith. The fruit cake that we will make will be a birthday cake for Jesus, which will be served on Christmas Eve. Scriptures: Revelation 1:4-6; Philippians 2:1-5 Thank you for watching!!!
