Humming our Way through Advent

Quiet song can ease our restless souls as we wait and watch for the coming of Christ.  Church Music Director, Deborah Mar, will lead us as we learn and reflect on a few new Advent songs to hum along our way through this season.  Please join us on Wednesdays December 4, 11, and 18 for Soup at 6:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall, followed by a brief study of simple song at 6:30 p.m., and Taizé Evening Prayer at 7:00 p.m.  

 

Hopefully this will help settle our hectic pace and give rest to our weary souls so we can truly prepare for the celebration of Christmas. 

 

Blessings,

Pastor Wynemah

One of my most comforting childhood memories is having my back gently rubbed while my mother quietly sang a hymn or two.  By the time she finished, I had usually drifted off to sleep.  If not, I would shake myself, and she would continue, this time humming the tune for a little longer.  To this day, I find myself humming whenever I need to settle down and rest awhile.

 

Advent invites us into a similar setting.  With lots of places to go and many things to do during December, we can use a little help quieting down and finding moments to rest awhile.  Humming might just be what we need.  So, here’s my idea:
