2/15/10.... Confused about the meaning of “Nunc Dimittis?”
The Latin phrase, which appeared in the February 14 Worship bulletin, had folks wondering about the translation and meaning. Very briefly, we found the following:
Nunc dimittis (nŭngk dimit'is) [Lat.,= now you are dismissing], the opening words of Simeon's song of praise on the occasion of the presentation of the infant Jesus in the Temple. After seeing Jesus, Simeon joyfully proclaims that he has seen God's salvation. The hymn is used traditionally in evening liturgical services.
Nunc Dimittis (THE CANTICLE OF SIMEON), found in St. Luke's Gospel 2:29-32
“Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word;
for mine eyes have seen thy salvation which thou hast prepared in the
presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory
to thy people Israel.”

The Rev. Judith A. Meier has accepted the interim position with Christ Church. The Pennsylvania Southeastern Conference presented Rev. Meier’s resume to the Consistory. She met with members of the Consistory in December and, afterwards, it was voted to offer her the position.Rev. Meier lives in East Norriton so she is no stranger to the Norristown area. She has been working as an interim Pastor for many years and is currently serving at the Linfield United Church.
Effective January 4, 2010, Marie Bertolette begins as our new Church Administrator. Marie is a lifelong resident of the Norristown area and presently lives in West Norriton with her husband, Bob. She comes to us from Special Olympics PA, in Norristown, where she was the Administrative Assistant to the Southeast and Northeast Field Directors and Competition Director. Her work experience also includes 24 years of service as Executive Administrative Assistant to the President and Chairperson of Resco Products, formerly of Conshohocken, PA. She looks forward to getting to know all of us at Christ Church. So, if you have a chance, please feel free to stop by the Church office and introduce yourself.
