May you encounter Christ this Advent and Christmas season and be filled with wonder and awe as you reflect on the gift of the Christ child and prepare your hearts for Christ's return. Yet, we know that Christ does not come just for us. Christ came as a light to all the world, which we mark on Epiphany. In this newsletter we will be highlighting Epiphany resources and some recent additions to ReformedWorship.org.

CONGREGATIONAL SONG | SERIES Topical List of Contemporary Songs
In this ongoing series Paul Ryan, Worship Pastor at Calvin University, provides lists of the "top ten" contemporary songs around a particular theme. These songs represent a variety of genres but are all suited for congregations. So far themes covered includeListening,Life, Creation, andPraise.
GROUNDED AND GROWING | EPIPHANY Grounded and Growing—Epiphany Sunday
This Epiphany Sunday service, which is part of the Grounded and Growing series, celebrates the gift of the gospel that has gone out to all people. It celebrates the fact that we have been grafted into the shoot and calls us to acknowledge that those we often consider "the other" or "less than" are equally welcomed.
No question this month but last month we asked: "What Advent/Christmas song are you introducing to your worshiping community this year?" Two responses were "Emmanuel God With Us" by Chris Tomlin and "Light of the World" by We the Kingdom.
