The choir rendered an anthem Rev. Matheson gave the Meditation entitled "Once Upon An Aeon". In Old Testa- ment times the prophets look- ed forward to the day when God's Messiah would come to rule the world. On the first Sunday of Advent we, too, find ourselves awaiting the celebration of that eventful day, Christmas! Of course there is a difference. We know when Christmas came and when we celebrate its coming every year. The prophets did not. Instead they waited for aeons to announce the com- ing. Besides being a long periodof time, an "aeon" can also be a messenger of God perhaps akin to an angel. What better reminder of the lite of Christ and our sharing and our invitation to share in that life than to celebrate the Sacrament of the Lord's Sup- per at this time?
