Advent's Holy Light
A Candlelighting Ceremony
for Advent
Joel Raney.
Designed to support the lighting of the Advent
candles, this includes a choral opening followed by
a call-and-response litany with piano underscore,
then a text to be read with each candle lighting.
As it concludes, the choir returns with the option
of adding the congregation for a final refrain.
A concluding prayer, five readings, and a
reproducible congregation part are also provided.

Prepare
An Advent Communion
Jon Paige.
For that perfect moment in Advent, Christmas,
or Christmastide communion gatherings, this
offering is accessible, with unison and two-part

the close.
