Heaven and Nature Sing: Devotions for Advent and Christmas 2021-2022

Explore the Advent season and celebrate the joy of the twelve days of Christmas and the day of Epiphany.

Heaven and Nature Sing includes daily devotions based on year C scripture readings (in the Revised Common Lectionary) for Sundays and festival days between the first Sunday of Advent (November 28, 2021) and Epiphany (January 6, 2022). In addition to devotions, the book offers household blessings and prayers to enrich your preparations and celebrations.

The story of Jesus’ birth in the Gospel of Luke is filled with song. Luke begins with the news that Elizabeth and Zechariah, despite their old age, will have a son who will prepare people for the arrival of the long-awaited Messiah. This is a prelude to the singing that follows from Elizabeth and Zechariah; Jesus’ mother, Mary; the prophets Simeon and Anna; and even an angel choir! During these days of Advent and Christmas, may the good news of Jesus’ birth fill our lives and our world with joy and peace. Let heaven and nature sing!
