Advent The Musical
A story that sings.
It’s a striking feature of the scriptures that, as the story of Jesus’ birth unfolds, key characters sometimes burst into song.
There are songs of resignation, of protest, and of exultation.
Like in any captivating performance, it’s the poetry that provokes us — where we discover new perspective on our human experience.
And like any riveting musical, it’s the melody that moves and disarms us — where we find ourselves swept up in a story that is good news for all.
So, take your seats and settle into our theatrical journey through Advent this year!
After waiting well through Advent we are ready to burst into the new world of the Christ Child arrived in our midst. We invite you to join us for a celebration of Christmas. With six service time to choose from, everyone is welcome.
In this Advent reflection on Luke 2, we explore Simeon’s song (Nunc Dimittis) and what it teaches us about peace, waiting, generosity, and faith in an unfinished world. Christmas isn’t about getting everything we want—it’s about becoming the kind of people who pass hope forward.
In this sermon for the Third Sunday in Advent, "Joy," we explore the story of the shepherds and the angels' announcement—the "Gloria." What does it mean that God's great, extraordinary glory first breaks in upon the most ordinary, mud-caked, and weather-worn people?
In this Advent sermon, we explore the second canticle of Luke’s gospel—the Benedictus, the prophetic song of Zechariah. Before he could sing, Zechariah had to face something deeper than disbelief: the fear that God had forgotten him. And maybe that’s a fear many of us hold quietly during the Christmas season.
Join us as we contemplate the mystery of the Incarnation—God arriving in unexpected ways—and learn to trust the pattern of the Magnificat reversal in our own lives.
