When Simeon had seen the Christ-child he was ready to "depart in peace," ready to die, ready to go! Knowing that God fulfills His promise in Christ can make us ready to stay and serve, or ready to join Simeon and all the saints who have seen the Christ and trusted in the Lord. Live or die, its all (ultimately) good. This program includes the Rite of Holy Communion as celebrated on Candlemas, and the New Year hymn, Oh, Rejoice Ye Christians, Loudly.
