Songs in Waiting Advent Study

Advent is not far away. All are invited and encouraged to participate in our 2009 all-church Advent study based on Songs in Waiting: Spiritual Reflections on Christ's Birth, by Paul-Gordon Chandler. In addition to our small group study the Rev. Larry Farris will preach on the four texts on the Sundays in Advent. Chandler's book reflects on the four songs in the Gospel of Luke: the Song of Mary (Magnificat), the Song of Zechariah (Benedictus), the Song of the Angels to the Shephers (Gloria), and the Song of Simeon (Nunc Dimittis). All members are encouraged to read along with us, whether you join a study group or not.
The groups will meet beginning the week of November 29, and last four weeks.  There will be six different groups, each led by a different member of the pastoral staff, and meeting at different times. Please sign up at the church or by emailing Resident Minister Jenny McDevitt. If you wish to purchase the book ($22) through the church, orders must be in by November 15.
