How to Meet Jesus in the Psalms - April 26
Rev. Charlie Drew will be preaching April 26. After the service, join us for a workshop taught by Charlie in Room 307. We will discuss the rationale for encountering the psalms as a window through which we get to see the life and heart of Jesus. We will reflect on some of the benefits for reading the psalms this way. We will practice meeting Jesus in some psalms. Lunch and childcare will be provided. All are welcome to attend.
Charlie's book, Singing with Emmanuel: How to Meet Jesus in the Psalms, will be available for purchase for $10. To purchase a copy ahead of time, you can go HERE (use code SING40 for 40% off if you buy directly from the publisher; Amazon offers the ebook for $2.99).
