Advent Devotional Book 2015 Journey To Bethlehem An Advent Devotional Book 2015 Caldwell Presbyterian Church 71 Montcalm Street Lake George, NY 12845 A Journey to Bethlehem Dear Friends, This booklet is offered as a companion to deepen your spiritual journey through Advent. In it are devotions offered by members of our church family as well as scripture, spiritual poems, and selected verses of Advent hymns, which are poetry in and of themselves. This compilation is organized in no particular order, except to say a gradual progression from the prophetic voices to the nativity. The beautiful traditional hymns of Advent help pave the way in the early days of Advent, and some of the lesser known verses of familiar Carols are found here. This Advent season, may you be led to new and holy places, all to God’s glory. Prayer: Dear God, come close to me in these days of Advent. In the midst of my to-do lists and flurrying about and busyness this time of year, help me to pause each day and to listen for your still small voice of calm. Quiet in me any thoughts but your own for a few sacred moments, that I may listen for your word, grow in faith, and experience a deeper sense of your coming light, in the name of Jesus, the child of Bethlehem, I pray, Amen. -Ali Trowbridge Isaiah 40:1-11 40 1Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God. 2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that she has served her term, that her penalty is paid, that she has received from the LORD’s hand double for all her sins. 3 A voice cries out: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough 5 places a plain. Then the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all people shall see it together, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” 6 A voice says, “Cry out!” And I said, “What shall I cry?” All people are grass, their constancy is like the flower of the field.7 The grass withers, the flower fades, when the breath of the LORD blows upon it; surely the people are grass. 8 The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand forever. 9 Get you up to a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good tidings; lift up your voice with strength, O Jerusalem, herald of good tidings, lift it up, do not fear; say to the cities of Judah, “Here is your God!” 10 See, the Lord GOD comes with might, and his arm rules for him; his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. 11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms, and carry them in his bosom, and gently lead the mother sheep. In Search of our Kneeling Places In each heart lies a Bethlehem, an inn where we must ultimately answer whether there is room or not… This Advent let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that the Lord has made known to us. In the midst of shopping sprees let’s ponder in our hearts the Gift of Gifts. Through the tinsel let’s look for the gold of the Christmas Star. In the excitement and confusion, in the merry chaos, let’s listen for the brush of angels’ wings. This Advent, let’s go to Bethlehem and find our kneeling places. -Ann Weems, Kneeling in Bethlehem Luke 1:26-38 The Birth of Jesus Foretold 26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, 27 to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.” 29 But she was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. 30 The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. 33 He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” 34 Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am a virgin?” 35 The angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God. 36 And now, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren. 37 For nothing will be impossible with God.” 38 Then Mary said, “Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her. Fra Angelico’s Annunciation (ca. 1450) Blessings? And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. (Luke 2:7) Mary was very pregnant. Ordered to return home by an uncaring government, she arrived on the back of a donkey, only to find there was no room for them and they would have to stay in the stable. Still, we hear no words of complaint from the parents-to-be as they prepared to receive this special blessing. *** As a clergy family with small children, Christmas busyness often came to us in spades! There was, however one particularly memorable Christmas for our family. Tom was attending seminary in Louisville at the time, and serving as student pastor at a church 20 miles outside Louisville. JoEllen was working at a local hospital and the Steve and Jennifer were two and five years old. The church had a midnight Christmas worship service so in the best of conditions we would arrive home around 2AM, with toys yet to put together, gifts to wrap and place under the tree. After the service, on this special night, there were borrowed choir robes to return to a church in a nearby town. You can ask JoEllen about the cow she hit that night and the (no) thanks she got from the other church’s choir director when they opened the door to find the robes lying on the floor in a state of disarray. The kids, of course, had slept through the night and were up bright-eyed and eager at 5:30AM Christmas morning. The brightness of their eyes contrasted with the bleary ones of JoEllen and Tom. Our little one’s joy helped us put aside our frustration, and focus, like Mary and Joseph on the blessings of the day. How will we each choose to deal with the distractions of the season this year? Blessings from Tom and JoEllen Parsons O Come, O Come, Emmanuel O come, O come, Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer Our spirits by Thine advent here Disperse the gloomy clouds of night And death's dark shadows put to flight. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, Desire of nations, bind All peoples in one heart and mind; Bid envy, strife and quarrels cease; Fill the whole world with heaven’s peace. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. Isaiah 9:2-7 2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness—on them light has shined.3 You have multiplied the nation, you have increased its joy; they rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest, as people exult when dividing plunder. 4 For the yoke of their burden, and the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor, you have broken as on the day of Midian. 5 For all the boots of the tramping warriors and all the garments rolled in blood shall be burned as fuel for the fire.6 For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 His authority shall grow continually, and there shall be endless peace for the throne of David and his kingdom. He will establish and uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time onward and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this. When the Season is Truly Here “Behold, I bring you tidings of great joy” the ageless Christmas story, the tradition carried from generation to generation, that is the Christmas season for me. Lighting the candles on the Advent wreath, and singing the hymns bring me the warmth and joy of the season. Among my favorite Christmas carols are; The First Noel, Good Christian Men Rejoice, Angels We Have Heard On High and In the Bleak Mid-Winter.

  • A Wonder Book for Girls and Boys by Nathaniel Hawthorne
    1 A Wonder Book For Girls and Boys By Nathaniel Hawthorne Published by Ichthus Academy A Wonder Book ©Ichthus Academy 2 Preface The author has long been of opinion that many of the classical myths were capable of being rendered into very capital reading for children. In the little volume here offered to the public, he has worked up half a dozen of them, with this end in view. A great freedom of treatment was necessary to his plan; but it will be observed by every one who attempts to render these legends malleable in his intellectual furnace, that they are marvellously independent of all temporary modes and circumstances. They remain essentially the same, after changes that would affect the identity of almost anything else. He does not, therefore, plead guilty to a sacrilege, in having sometimes shaped anew, as his fancy dictated, the forms that have been hallowed by an antiquity of two or three thousand years. No epoch of time can claim a copyright in these immortal fables. They seem never to have been made; and certainly, so long as man exists, they can never perish; but, by their indestructibility itself, they are legitimate subjects for every age to clothe with its own garniture of manners and sentiment, and to imbue with its own morality. In the present version they may have lost much of their classical aspect (or, at all events, the author has not been careful to preserve it), and have, perhaps, assumed a Gothic or romantic guise. In performing this pleasant task,—for it has been really a task fit for hot weather, and one of the most agreeable, of a literary kind, which he ever undertook,—the author has not always thought it necessary to write downward, in order to meet the comprehension of children.

  • Good Stories for Great Holidays Arranged For
    GOOD STORIES FOR GREAT HOLIDAYS ARRANGED FOR STORY-TELLING AND READING ALOUD AND FOR THE CHILDREN'S OWN READING BY FRANCES JENKINS OLCOTT Index according to reading level is appended. TO THE STORY-TELLER This volume, though intended also for the children's own reading and for reading aloud, is especially planned for story-telling. The latter is a delightful way of arousing a gladsome holiday spirit, and of showing the inner meanings of different holidays. As stories used for this purpose are scattered through many volumes, and as they are not always in the concrete form required for story-telling, I have endeavored to bring together myths, legends, tales, and historical stories suitable to holiday occasions. There are here collected one hundred and twenty stories for seventeen holidays--stories grave, gay, humorous, or fanciful; also some that are spiritual in feeling, and others that give the delicious thrill of horror so craved by boys and girls at Halloween time. The range of selection is wide, and touches all sides of wholesome boy and girl nature, and the tales have the power to arouse an appropriate holiday spirit. As far as possible the stories are presented in their original form. When, however, they are too long for inclusion, or too loose in structure for story-telling purposes, they are adapted. Adapted stories are of two sorts. Condensed: in which case a piece of literature is shortened, scarcely any changes being made in the original language. Rewritten: here the plot, imagery, language, and style of the original are retained as far as possible, while the whole is moulded into form suitable for story-telling.

To help make this a fun and motivational experience, we have provided materials to assist you and your students in the preparation and follow up of the show. What is Child's Play Touring Theatre? Child's Play Touring Theatre is a professional traveling theatre for young audiences that performs stories and poems written by children, transforming young writers' manuscripts into plays, songs, and dances. Every year, the company performs the works of hundreds of young poets, essayists, playwrights and short story writers from classrooms just like yours. Child's Play combines the imagination of children and the craftsmanship of professional theatre artists. Using characters, narration and dialogue created by young authors, the actors of Child's Play Touring Theatre add songs, mime, music, sound effects, props and costumes to fashion a complete show. A lively pace, energetic performances, and lots of audience participation keep the children involved throughout the presentation. A Child's Play performance can spark the writing program in your classroom, as well as open doors to discussion, writing, and theatre activities. As children watch our actors performing literature written by other children, they become very excited about their own potential as writers. They say, "I can do that too!"

Scripture tells us that his arrival was not an accident, but an event destined to convey reconciliation by a loving God for his creation. In Galatians 4:4, Paul writes that, “when the time had fully come, God sent his Son…,” a fulfillment of prophecy and expectation that had been anticipated for centuries.

  • The Lesson of the Immigrant 1900-1909 21
    the lesson of the immigrant views of immigrants in muckraking magazines 1900-1909 steven I. piott Historians of the Progressive Era have been fascinated by two parallel phenomena: the unprecedented increase in immigration and the rapid rise of popular muckraking magazines. Historians have interpreted muck­ raking, a central feature of early twentieth century journalism, by con­ centrating on the most prominent muckraking journalists, concluding that most progressives harbored hostile or at least condescending attitudes toward immigrants.1 In discussing the positive values that immigrants brought to America, at least one historian has noted that even "sym­ pathetic" progressives tended to confine their focus to items such as exotic music, foods, and handicrafts, contributions that "had no bearing on American institutions or ideals/'2 But the immigrant possessed something more than exotic "gifts" capable of directing the WASP toward a renewed sense of community, one which had been overwhelmed in the process of industrialization. Newly arrived immigrants possessed an as-yet-undefiled sense of moral values. They made the immigrant not a "destroyer" but, instead, a "saver" of community. Turning from the preoccupation of historians with the more sensational exposé articles, this paper will focus on the lesser-known, immigrant-related fiction that appeared in popular muckraking magazines during the first decade of this century. These secondary stories can be integrated with the more widely-read factual accounts and contribute to a common theme. While the millions of readers of those magazines3 might have detected an occasional condescend­ ing tone, the main point is that these writers used innocent immigrants to show the horrors of industrial capitalism to people who were less able to see their responsibility for its oppressive nature in their own lives.
