REHEARSAL on SUNDAYS

BETWEEN THE CANTOR AND

THE ORGANIST

Devin and Michael in the middle of a Sunday rehearsal.

The music is the best vehicle to help our spirituality,

and Devin and Michael help us to channel our worship.

Devin also argues about music and singing.

Well, between musicians they can figure out

how to resolve musical challenges.

Seems to us that Michael does not approves the comments.

Can you see the face communication? he he he

I think Devin realized that is better to start to sing

instead to talk about tunes, metric and music.

Advent (from the Latin word adventus meaning "coming") is a season observed in many Western Christian churches, a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas. It is the beginning of the Western liturgical year and commences on Advent Sunday, called Levavi. The Eastern churches' equivalent of Advent is called the Nativity Fast, but it differs both in length and observances and does not begin the church year, which starts instead on September 1.

The progression of the season may be marked with an Advent calendar, a practice introduced by German Lutherans. At least in the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran and Methodist calendars, Advent starts on the fourth Sunday before December 25, the Sunday from November 27 to December 3 inclusive.

Latin adventus is the translation of the Greek word parousia, commonly used in reference to the Second Coming of Christ. For Christians, the season of Advent serves as a reminder both of the original waiting that was done by the Hebrews for the birth of their Messiah as well as the waiting of Christians for Christ's return.
