One Voice
Dear Covenant friends and family,
This Sunday at 8:30 and 11:00 the music does the preaching. The choir and friends are performing my original "One Voice" choral and narrative piece that takes us from the breath of God speaking the universe into existence to the breath of God breathing through all of us. Scriptures include Genesis 1 and John 1, beginning with the Beginning and ending up in the Now. Guest instrumentalists include cellist, Cora Kuyvenhoven, and flutist, Christa Perry. Hope to see you here!
Grace and peace,
Tracy

The Bible and Prison:
Reading and Writing about the Bible from Behind Bars
May 15, 7pm, Lounge
Led by Rev. Dr. Julie Faith Parker. Dr. Parker taught introductory courses on the Bible to maximum security prison inmates working toward a Master’s degree from inside Sing Sing Correctional Facility. Most of her students were convicted murderers; all were intelligent, kind, and hard-working men. Dr. Parker will explain what it was like to teach behind bars and how her understanding of the Bible changed as a result of this experience. She will also talk about her latest book,
My So-Called Biblical Life, which includes essays from men who are incarcerated. Copies will be available for purchase and signing.
