Advent and Christmas Worship - "Those Who Dream"
The theme for this Advent Season is "Those Who Dream." Like Mary, we too dream of lifting up the oppressed and bringing down those with too much earthly power. This is God's vision of life together - toward hope, love, peace and joy! The image above of Mary and Jesus is from our worship materials for Advent and Christmas from sanctifiedart.org.
There are exciting ways for you to participate in worship this advent:
- Advent Candle Prayer - Your family/group can volunteer to read a special poem during one of the Sundays in Advent - starting November 29th. You are invited to light your own candle and continue this sacred practice from home.
- Advent Wreath Orders - Janese Thomas is creating a special line of advent candle wreaths for worshiping from home! For this holiday fundraiser each wreath is $25. Please email or call Pastor Ben to order one for your home (benheimachsnipes@gmail.com). Include the address where the wreath should be dropped off. Send your payment by mail or online clicking here. The image below shows some of the designs available. Each wreath will include 5 candles (shown on the right) so that you can participate in the Advent Candle Lighting from your home worship space:
- Virtual Hanging of the Greens - Send a photo or video clip of your holiday decorations in your home by December 1st. We will show these images in worship and pray for God's presence with us - making our homes holy ground for worship and renewal.
- Caroling - We will end each Sunday worship service with Christmas Caroling! Stay on the service to make music requests and sing along to the music of the season!
- Hymn Requests - Please send Pastor Ben your favorite hymns of Advent and Christmas so we can be sure to include them in our worship experience. All types of music are on the table if they help tell the story of Jesus.
Advent/Christmas Virtual Children's Sermons
Help our children tell the story of Jesus coming into the world! I invite you to create a weekly video story with all of our families. If each family creates a short video clip each week (10 seconds to 1 minute), then Jamie Wasowski can edit them together to help us tell the story of the season. Click here to download instructions for each week's video.
Virtual Chancel Choir
Email Music Director Dhilanthi Fernando to receive instructions about singing in our current virtual choir anthem! Virtual choir anthems are recorded by individual singers and edited together into a communal sound. Your voice is welcome! You can also contribute recordings of percussion, clapping or other rhythmic support.
