Advent 2007 at Northaven Church: Complete Information
"The Day is Coming"
Northaven's theme for Advent 2007 is "The Day is
Coming." This comes from a marvelous new Advent Hymn, composed by John Thornburg
and Jane Marshall. The hymn --and the lectionary readings from Isaiah on which
it is based-- will serve as our guide through this
season.
With Jane Marshall's permission, our own Michael Ekbladh has created an short instrumental version of the hymn tune, and you can hear it here. (Thanks to Michael for doing this!)
