Have you ever wished the world was more like a musical, with characters bursting into song at the slightest provocation?
In the nativity story, there are four sudden, Spirit-filled songs from the heart, and they're all still used in the rhythm of liturgy: Zechariah's song (the Benedictus) Mary's song (Magnificat) the song of the angels (Gloria in Excelsis) and Simeon's song (Nunc Dimittis).In 'They Sang', Amy Scott Robinson uses four Advent studies to guide small groups to explore these ancient poems of praise and prophecy, and a fifth invites you to discover your own song.Containing work from artist Clare Howard Weiner - available to download in the 'Resources' tab.

A course to lead us into a deeper awareness of the ever-present God.
There are times in our lives when we struggle against the darkness, seeking to disperse the gloom. Advent comes at the darkest time of the year when the nights are longest. It is about the coming of Christ, the Light of the World, who comes to us, transforming our darkest days by his presence; it's a special time of candle-lighting.
Candles in the Dark is an Advent resource for groups, but it is an equally valuable and enriching book for individuals, comprising six sessions which include scripture readings, music, candle-lighting and visual symbols, prayers and reflections.
Each session draws meaning and inspiration from a special theme: the Patriarchs, our ancestors in the faith, such as Abraham and Moses; the Prophets, for example Elijah and Isaiah: John the Baptist; the Virgin Mary; the Shepherds and Wise Men - those whose faith shone out like candles in the dark, who brought us the Light and the Word, through whom the Lord sought to guide us, who prepared the way, who came and sought the Lord. He seeks to be born in us, and awaits entry into our hearts, our lives and homes.

Each year they come round: readings for Advent, Christmas, Harvest, Easter and every other holy day. And the question is, 'How do I make them fresh?

An Advent course based on the prophecies of IsaiahThe journey from darkness to light is upheld in the season of Advent - set in the Church's calendar in the dark winter days that look forward to and long for the coming of Christ, the light of the world.It is Christ, amidst the darkness of world events who promised that light had come to the nations bringing good news to the poor, release to captives, sight to the blind, and freedom to the oppressed. In these words, quoted from the book of the prophet Isaiah, the year of the Lord's favour had dawned.This five-session course, suitable for group or individual use, explores what each prophecy means for the world today - through reflections, readings, questions and prayers.

One theme dominates Advent - waiting. Just as God's people of old waited for the day of the Messiah, so we wait for the return of Christ in fulfilment of God's purpose. Beginning and ending each session with passages of Scripture, Nick Fawcett has included hypothetical scenarios that bring each theme down to earth and help to explore what they might be saying to us today.

One of the desert fathers once said 'Joy is the echo of God's life in us.' This six-week course aims to celebrate the joy of knowing that everything we do - even the problems and trials we face - is transformed by our awareness that God loves us and comes to us. Each week from Advent to Epiphany the course looks at a passage of Scripture where we see joy or delight expressed: the joy of Creation, the psalms, the triumph of joy over adversity, the joy of Mary, the birth of Christ and the love of God. To explore the Scripture readings, David Adam employs the ancient tradition of Lectio Divina. The purpose is not to study the Scriptures but to be still and open enough to hear the echo of God in our lives.

Based on the traditional hymn 'O come, O come Emmanuel', John Cox's Advent course provides the opportunity for a reality check: the reality of who we are and what our world is, the reality of our hopes and fears. It encourages us to look afresh at the reality of Jesus, the One who comes and ask how much he is really a part of our lives.As we look forward at Advent, this book encourages us to look in other directions as well: to look around at those who are lost and alienated, at outcasts and refugees; to look within us and within the world; to look up to find hope and aspiration; to look with gratitude; and to look with the eyes of loving response as we meet with Christ, the One we long for, the One who we believe comes to meet our needs and those of our world.This short course of six sessions is intended for use by small groups but could equally be helpful for individual use in setting a framework for private study, devotion and reflection.ContentsAbout the authorIntroductionAdventWreaths and candlesThe Great AntiphonsLookingHow to use this bookThe sessionsLeadersMusic suggestionsSession one - God's welcome to allSession two - FreedomSession three - Light in the darknessSession four - Key of DavidSession five - Lord Almighty, the giver of the LawSession six - Emmanuel, God with us

The coming of Jesus changed our world forever. During the season of Advent, we best prepare for the arrival of Jesus, the Coming One, by keeping our hearts and minds open and making room for him. Yet we allow things to get in the way.In this collection of 40 daily reflections for Advent, author Ray Simpson first outlines the roadblocks, such as materialism and clutter, that need to be cleared away so that we are ready for Jesus' arrival. Next, he identifies the signposts – prophecies, intuitions, stirrings – that help us to travel in the direction of what or who is coming. With these signposts clear, he then explores how we should prepare ourselves for the arrival of Jesus. And finally, Ray considers glimpses of glory – fresh expressions of the Light of the World.This meditative and enlightening approach to journeying through Advent will be an invaluable accompaniment to your own preparation for the arrival of Jesus.

An Advent study course...
Responding to the Image of God has seven sessions which may be used during Advent itself or during the period leading up to Advent and into the Christmas Season. Although aimed primarily at helping small groups to focus on God's words during Advent, this book could also be used for private study.Joel Edwards writes: 'We are all trying to discover what it means to be alive, to be truly human in community with others. We want to be valued and to value others; the shorthand word for all of this is respect.
