Songs for the Second Sunday of Advent – December 4
Advent is such an amazing season – an opportunity to resist the popular culture of Christmas, to instead prepare our hearts for the coming of the Christ, savouring the anticipation of waiting, so that by the time Christmas comes we are so ready! Here are a couple of songs to share with your communities for the Second Sunday of Advent this year:
- Comfort My People (pdf, bulletin graphic and mp3) – from our album, This is the Day, a four-part round based on the opening of the Isaiah text
- Show Us Your Steadfast Love (pdf, bulletin graphic and midi) – a newer refrain for Psalm 85
Advent Tour 2011!
We’re off on our Advent tour, starting in Prince George, BC, then making our way out the eastern Saskatchewan and back, for two weeks of singing, fun, and hopefully good roads. This is a rare thing for us – normally we tour closer to home in Advent – so if you can join us we’d love to see you, and if you have friends and family along the way please let them know we’re coming through. Details on our events page!
First Sunday of Advent – November 27
New Year’s blessings, everyone (Christian new year, that is!). As we begin another cycle of the church year, here are a few songs to help you celebrate:
- “Restore us, O God” (pdf and bulletin graphic) – a refrain for Psalm 80
- “Keep awake, for you know not when” (pdf) – a lively, gospel-flavoured song based on Matthew 13:32-27
- “Keep awake, keep watch through the night” (pdf and midi) – a gentle refrain, also on the Matthew passage
