This Sunday we’re continuing in our “Song of Christmas” series by looking at Mary’s song, often called The Magnificat. While Mary is often thought of as “meek and mild,” her song reveals her as a tenacious, courageous agitator who has put her hope in the promise of God, and anticipates a coming socio-political reversal that the Messiah will bring.

I’m grateful for Justin Earley’s sermon this Sunday that reminded us of the great themes of this Advent season: darkness, waiting and light. We’ll continue to reflect on those themes this Sunday we we look at the next Song of Christmas from Luke 1:67-80, Zechariah’s song.

This Sunday we’ll begin Advent and thus a new series on “The Songs of Christmas.” One of our Parish Elders, Justin Earley, will be our preacher this week on a famous Advent text.
