It's time to prepare for Advent and Christmas. As the new Music Director of our local Catholic Church I've gone back and forth with ideas.
I know I want it to be different from the past because - well - things have changed. There are so many songs in our new Purple "United in Christ" book that we haven't explored yet. So...first thing...make a cd of the songs we haven't sung before since that's the best way to rehearse when we can't formally rehearse often.
I'm not sure if you'll know any of them but here's the list of the songs and the YouTube links for the songs that we haven't sung before.
Advent Songs
Awake, O Sleeper - 266
A Voice Cries Out – 271
The Advent of Our King – 272
People, Look East – 274
Every Valley – 276
Creator of the Stars of Night – 277
Save Us, O Lord – 280
The King Shall Come When Morning Dawns – 285
O Come, Divine Messiah - 288
(By the way - Advent's all about a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas.) I'm looking forward to Advent ~ I'll keep you posted about what we decide to sing from the list above.
Thanks for visiting ~ Reia

Very interesting. I had no idea what Advent was about. Looking forward to hearing about the service and what y'all chose to sing :)
Thanks, Ginger from www.literallyinspired.com. I sent the cds home with them today. I'm looking forward to what they end up liking. It's always an adventure & I love it!
