Please join us to explore the rich meaning of the lyrics to some of the most beloved hymns of the Christmas season for the first three Friday evenings in December.

Whether it’s memories of caroling, Christmas pageants, or Christmas Eve services, the hymns of Christmas are some of the most evocative parts of the season for many of us.  They refocus our spirits and remind us of the holiness and mystery of God’s incarnation.

This Advent Study explains the history behind some of our favorite carols and helps us encounter the rich wording anew.  Focusing on the ways in which words and music can speak to the core of our experiences, we will spend time in reflection, conversation, and simple enjoyment of these beloved hymns in the study:

  • Dec 4  – “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel”
  • Dec 11 – “Silent Night, Holy Night” and “O Little Town of Bethlehem”
  • Dec 18 – “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.”

The Rejoice! Advent Study will be held at the home of Peggy and Vance Belliston on Friday evenings in December at 7:00 pm.  Please feel free to join us for any or all of the sessions.  For further information or directions, please contact the Church Office at 858-490-3995.
