Imago Dei Music is a collaborative group of artists based out of Imago Dei Community in Portland, Oregon, as a part of the Imago Dei Arts Collective. The Collective exists to help artists grow in what it means to abide abundantly and unabashedly in their expression of God’s creative image.
"Gladdening Light," their debut release under their collective label, features original arrangements of Christmas favorites captured live at their Advent 2012 services.
All songs are public domain age-old Christmas goodness, we simply arranged and sang them with our whole hearts. Enjoy!
