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.

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? How do I help my church hear with new ears the readings they have heard a hundred times before?'This collection of scripture retellings is meant to do just that, with passages relating to holidays and holy days from Years A, B and C of the Revised Common Lectionary.There are 42 readings in all, complete with interactive devices and specific suggestions designed to invite your people directly into the Bible passage, to engage with it, and see it with fresh eyes.The provided digital resources will help if you need extra text copies or want to project the words on-screen for all the congregation to see.

Light Amidst the Darkness by John Cox is a thought-provoking and spiritually enriching exploration of the Advent season. Through a series of powerful contrasts—death and hope, judgment and peace, heaven and joy, hell and love—Cox invites readers to reflect deeply on the light that shines through life’s darker moments.
Each chapter offers meditations that guide the reader toward a profound understanding of the Christian faith, culminating in the celebration of Christmas Day and the arrival of Jesus Christ, the ultimate source of light and love.
Perfect for personal reflection or group study, Light Amidst the Darkness is a heartfelt journey of hope, renewal, and faith during the sacred season of Advent.
