Study Guides
Study Guides for Singing Our Lives These guides integrate Bible study, prayer, and worship to help us explore how singing can lift our hearts to adore God, awaken us to confess the disorder in our lives, and inspire us to good Christian Reflection work that speaks God’s transforming love into the hurting A Series in Faith and Ethics world. Use them individually or in a series. You may reproduce them for personal or group use. Why We Sing 2 When we come before God in worship, why do we sing rather than merely think or talk with one another? Singing is a language that God has given us to express our deepest longings, greatest joys, and most profound trust in the One who created us and loves us unconditionally. Nurturing the Congregation’s Voice 4 Every congregation is an unmatched creation with lessons to learn about its voice—what music it’s intended to make and what music is meant for another congregation. These lessons can be learned through the disciplines of hearing, joining, sounding, remembering, and coaching its voice. Singing with the Psalter 6 What sets the book of Psalms apart from other Scripture is the sacramental nature of its songs, their ability to mold and transform the believer. Reading or singing the psalms, we lift them to God as our prayers, as though we are speaking our own words rather than recalling an ancient litany. Gifts of New Music 8 A prophetic song that lifts our hearts to adore God, awa- kens us to confess the disorder in our lives, or inspires us to share God’s love for the hurting world is a wonderful gift. -
Daily Devotions in the Psalms Psalm 129-133
Daily Devotions in the Psalms Psalm 129-133 Monday 12th October - Psalm 129 “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth”— let Israel now say— 2 “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me. 3 The plowers ploughed upon my back; they made long their furrows.” 4 The Lord is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked. 5 May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward! 6 Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up, 7 with which the reaper does not fill his hand nor the binder of sheaves his arms, 8 nor do those who pass by say, “The blessing of the Lord be upon you! We bless you in the name of the Lord!” It is interesting that Psalm 128 and 129 sit side by side. They seem to sit at odds with one another. Psalm 128 speaks of Yahweh blessing his faithful people. They enjoy prosperity and the fruit of their labour. It is a picture of peace and blessing. And then comes this Psalm, clunking like a car accidentally put into reverse. Here we see a people long afflicted (v. 1-2). As a nation, they have had their backs ploughed. And the rest of the Psalm prays for the destruction of the wicked nations and individuals who would seek to harm and destroy Israel. It’s possible that this Psalm makes you feel uncomfortable, or even wonder if this Psalm is appropriate for the lips of God’s people. -

Hymnody of Eastern Pennsylvania German Mennonite Communities: Notenbüchlein (Manuscript Songbooks) from 1780 to 1835
HYMNODY OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN MENNONITE COMMUNITIES: NOTENBÜCHLEIN (MANUSCRIPT SONGBOOKS) FROM 1780 TO 1835 by Suzanne E. Gross Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Maryland in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1994 Advisory Committee: Professor Howard Serwer, Chairman/Advisor Professor Carol Robertson Professor Richard Wexler Professor Laura Youens Professor Hasia Diner ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: HYMNODY OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN MENNONITE COMMUNITIES: NOTENBÜCHLEIN (MANUSCRIPT SONGBOOKS) FROM 1780 TO 1835 Suzanne E. Gross, Doctor of Philosophy, 1994 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Howard Serwer, Professor of Music, Musicology Department, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland As part of an effort to maintain their German culture, the late eighteenth-century Mennonites of Eastern Pennsylvania instituted hymn-singing instruction in the elementary community schoolhouse curriculum. Beginning in 1780 (or perhaps earlier), much of the hymn-tune repertoire, previously an oral tradition, was recorded in musical notation in manuscript songbooks (Notenbüchlein) compiled by local schoolmasters in Mennonite communities north of Philadelphia. The practice of giving manuscript songbooks to diligent singing students continued until 1835 or later. These manuscript songbooks are the only extant clue to the hymn repertoire and performance practice of these Mennonite communities at the turn of the nineteenth century. By identifying the tunes that recur most frequently, one can determine the core repertoire of the Franconia Mennonites at this time, a repertoire that, on balance, is strongly pietistic in nature. Musically, the Notenbüchlein document the shift that occured when these Mennonite communities incorporated written transmission into their oral tradition. -
Taste and See: a Feast for the Senses
A Feast of the Senses ADVENT Christmas is a multi-sensory delight; the chill in the air, the fragrance of pine, the beautiful lights, the tempting treats, the lilting carols. We will come together to share our stories and experience Christmas through our senses. SMALL GROUP GUIDE Advent This begins the Advent season, what are some Week 1 of the ways that you practice Advent in your Zechariah and Elizabeth life? Luke 1:1-25 Opening Ourselves Let us set aside the cares of our day and open our eyes to the wonder of God. With an attitude of empathy to the people of another time let us open our hearts and minds to God. Let us experience God’s word to us through the presence of the Holy Spirit. (Taste and See, 13) Smell the incense Frankincense - a fragrance of pine and lemon. Enter the Story See the angel – is the angel glowing, clothed in white? Hear the silence – how does silence affect you? Are there any other senses that are lifted up in the passage? While Zechariah was in the sanctuary, an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the incense altar. Zechariah was shaken and overwhelmed with fear when he saw him. But the angel said, “Don’t be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer. Your wife, Elizabeth, will give you a son, and you are to name him John.” What might God be inviting me to be or to know or understand? The angel’s first words are “do not be afraid” is there an area in your life that God is instructing you not to be afraid?

OBSCVLTA “Dwelling TogeTher” anD DescenDing To ascenD: yachad, yashab, anD yarad in Psalm 133 Aidan Putnam To what extent can Psalm 133 be read as a generic commentary on community (reflecting anthropological claims), and to what extent must it be read as a prescription for cultic practices (reflecting theological claims)? Perhaps the images of community, worship, and sacred places can legitimately be interpreted metaphorically. That is, these images are used as symbols of blessing; symbols which could be transposed across community worship practices. But what would allow for that interpretation, and what would limit it? To explore these parameters and perimeters, this paper will consider the penultimate “Song of Ascent” in relation to its canonical cluster and the lexical linkages it shows across prophetic and wisdom literature. -

Immanuel O come, O Day-spring, come and cheer Our spirits by your advent here; Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, And death's dark shadows put to flight: Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel Prayersiii God, you came to your people in the past. -
