Today is the first Sunday of Advent. My new church recognizes this. It's kinda cool. The congregation I grew up in didn't do anything for Advent, so it's kind of neat to have that.
But more than that, we sang contemporary worship music (i.e., "rock"-ish, danceable music) this morning. Like we do every Sunday. The difference today? IT WAS IN HEBREW! How cool is that?
And finally, our worship band played "Christmas Eve in Sarajevo." Yes, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra arrangement. It was missing some instruments, obviously, compensated for by the synthesizer/keyboard. But it brought tears to my eyes. I think if I ever went to an actual TSO concert, I'd have tears just streaming down my face.
