- Doxology: to the tune of “All Creature of our God and King”
- Sanctus: Holy, Holy, Holy (Brian Darnell)
- Communion: Indescribable (Story / Reeves)

This will actually be first time planning worship for the Advent / Christmas season. Our church makes a real distinction between Advent and Christmas. They don’t want to sing anything like Joy to the World or O Come All Ye Faithful until after 12/25. I didn’t grow up in churches that did this, so I’m still learning. Advent songs (as opposed to Christmas songs) are pretty hard to find. I’ll focus on the hymns O Come, O Come Emmanuel and Come Thou Long Expected Jesus. I found this other hymn, Thy Kingdom Come, O God (http://www.hymnary.org/text/thy_kingdom_come_o_god_thy_reign) that I’d like to do, but haven’t found an arrangement yet that will work for us.
I have a friend who sings and plays the harp with the Jackson, TN symphony. She goes by the name Timbre (http://timbre.bandcamp.com/album/silent-night). She’s joining us on the 22nd. She has a dreamy, Enya-like quality. I’m looking forward to that.
I have the new Paul Baloche Christmas record, but haven’t started digging into it yet. How about you? What are you planning?
It’s hard to believe we begin a new liturgical year next Sunday. Any new Advent music on your radar?
