For our next #lwfadvent calendar hymn video on 7 December, we travel to #Guatemala where we listen to and sing a traditional Guatemalan Christmas carol along with the Iglesia Luterana Agustina de Guatemala (ILAG) (Augustinian Lutheran Church of Guatemala).
The choir is composed of the Holy Trinity Augustinian Lutheran Church members and students of the MILAGRO Center for young women. This church was ILAG’s first congregation, and this is also the meeting space for the women. It is here that they practice singing and music, and learn how to speak in public. Furthermore, this is the place where they read Scripture and meditate on the Word of God.
During this Advent season, LWF member churches share hymns to show how the Lutheran communion prepares for Christ’s coming into this world. Follow the calendar on https://www.lutheranworld.org/advent-hymns
