This week has been all about preparing you for the Thanksgiving holiday and the Christian Year’s season of Advent, here at My Song In The Night. In case you missed anything, here are links to these articles, as well as a helpful link for worship leaders who are looking for Scripture verses and liturgical readings for Advent worship service planning:
- What Is Advent? Why And How Should You Observe It?
- Advent Song Analysis: “Come Thou Long Expected Jesus” by Charles Wesley
- Thanksgiving Testimonies: How To Share Your Story On Thanksgiving Day
- Free Thanksgiving Playlist: 22 Worship Songs Of Praise And Thanksgiving
* Readings posted in theopensourcebook.org are free for worship leaders and planners to use in writing liturgy and planning church worship services. Simply attribute the reading to “theopensourcebook.org” in your PowerPoint slides or printed material.
Next week at My Song In The Night we’ll post more Thanksgiving/Advent articles, as well as something several of you have asked for:
- How To Compose Tunes For Hymn Texts And Other Pre-Existing Song Lyrics
And while we’re having a look ahead, some friends of ours at Sojourn have recorded a new album of Christmas standards, hymns and covers. Look at the track list, listen to a song and pre-order here!
