Dear Friends of the Advent Blog,

While Advent has ended with Christmas, we have a few more posts we would like to share between now and New Years’s Day. We hope that you enjoy!

A few days ago, one of our members, Carmen Carreño shared her Christmas Album with the Marble Women’s Ministry which just was released.

A heartfelt, radiant and warm expression of treasured Christmas memories through these beloved songs.

Portals of Light – Treasured Christmas Memories, was created from the tailwind of the Carmen’s first album, Portals of Peace, to share beloved songs from her childhood to the present day, with the hope that this music and these beautiful arrangements by Phil Carroll may give peace and comfort and uplift those who are alone or feel alone even when surrounded by others throughout the holidays. All songs were recorded in A432Hz, a method which is growing in popularity among some artists. We invite you to and hope that you may wish to sing along!

A heartfelt, radiant and warm expression of treasured Christmas memories through these beloved songs.
