Getting Ahead of the Sundays and Seasons: Choosing Music for Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany
Is there a better time than now for planning Year C Worship services? Come to this workshop to explore resources for Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany and give yourself the early Christmas present of a well-planned season!
9:30 Registration and Refreshments
10:00 – 10:45 Hymns You May Not Know for the Advent-Epiphany Arc
Some seasonal hymns in our hymnals may not be well known. They will never become known unless we sing them! The session will also include the singing of hymns from other resources for worship. This year, teach your assembly a new song!
11:00 – 12:00 Choral Reading Session
The selected repertoire emphasizes music for small to medium-sized ensembles. All selections will be suitable for singing Advent – Epiphany.
12:00 – 1:00 LUNCH
1:00 – 1:45 What About the Liturgy?
Confessions, canticles, prayer responses, and other music to enliven your seasonal worship.
2:00 – 3:00 Make It a Season to Remember
How can music, drama, and visual arts enhance this time of year? Have you ever considered a Longest Night service or midweek devotional service? How can we approach the seasonal themes outside of Sunday morning worship?
