A Green Christmas Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 6, 2009

The Green decorations of Christmas speak of the promise of life in a season of barren trees and gloomy skies. The birth of Christ also speaks of that promise.

My Spirit Rejoices

Contributed by Dietrich Bonhoeffer on Aug 2, 2012

Who will say with Mary: The Lord has looked with favor on my lowliness. My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

The song of Mary is the oldest Advent hymn. It is also the most passionate, the wildest, and one might almost say the most revolutionary Advent hymn that has ever been sung.
