Week 4: Sing Hope

Sunday Dec 24

“My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has looked with favor on the lowly state of his servant.
Surely from now on all generations will call me blessed,
for the Mighty One has done great things for me,
and holy is his name;
indeed, his mercy is for those who fear him
from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with his arm;
he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has brought down the powerful from their thrones
and lifted up the lowly;
he has filled the hungry with good things
and sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the aid of his child Israel,
in remembrance of his mercy,
according to the promise he made to our ancestors,
to Abraham and to his descendants forever.”

Luke 1:46-55

Memory Passage

And Mary said,
“My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior…”

— Luke 1:46-47

Weekly Practice

  • Ask someone who is older than you what gives them hope. Then, ask someone who is younger than you what gives them hope. What did you learn?

  • Listen to or sing the song, “O Holy Night.” What gives you a “thrill of hope”?

  • Look back at the list of joys from Week Two. Do something on that list!
