The Songs of Christmas

In the United Methodist Hymnal on page 249, you will find There’s A Song in the Air.  This hymn begins with those words, “There’s a song in the air!” and the last verse proclaims, “we rejoice in the light, and we echo the song.” This week at First United Methodist Church, there is a song in the air, and we echo the song. It is a time of musical delight and hearing the story of our faith through music. Thursday night in the chapel will bring the history of your favorite hymns. Celebration Worship will be in the chapel at 9am with “Christmas Unplugged,” a time of jamming and caroling. Traditions worship will highlight our sanctuary choir and musicians with the songs of the season. All of these are great worship opportunities, which you will not want to miss.

               What song are you singing this Advent? Psalm 149:1 reminds us, “Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise the assembly of the faithful.!” This week, may we praise the Lord with song. May the familiar lyrics become a prayer for us all.

Happy Advent!

Rev. Sherri
