Hamline Church United Methodist issued the following announcement on Dec. 09.
Join us this Sunday, December 11 for Advent 3Singing Mary’s Song: Joy - Witness Mary
Mary wasn’t just a diaper changer, she was a King-maker. The same God that spoke the world into being, spoke her womb into being. But God didn’t only need her womb. God needed her witness & her words. She not only gives birth to the Word, but she bears witness to that word. She allows the Light to come into her life, so that the Light can go through her life unto the world. On the third Sunday of Advent we remember Mary’s witness and light the candle of joy.
The Hamline Church Festival Chorus with soloists, small string orchestra and organ, led by David Kozisek will celebrate the music of J.S. Bach and present Cantata BWV 61, Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland (Now come, savior of the gentiles). Premiered in Weimar in 1714, it is one of Bach’s most appealing and popular works. Also featured: the opening Sinfonia from the Christmas Oratorio, Air on the G String from Suite No. 3 played by the handbells, Gounod’s iconic version of Ave Maria based on Bach’s Prelude in C, and Wachet Auf on organ.
Find us online or in person at 10am. We look forward to worshiping with you!
