Piano Dedication Concert featuring Debra Lew Harder
Sunday, October 14 at 4pm
Trinity Presbyterian Church, Berwyn, PA
On October 14, Pianist, teacher, writer, and WRTI classical host Dr. Debra Lew Harder performs on Trinity PC's new Mason & Hamlin BB seven-foot grand piano for its dedicatory concert.
Titled "Overcoming the Odds - Illness and Creativity of the Great Composers", Harder explores, through live musical performance and conversation, how many of the composers we consider the titans of Western music had to overcome serious debilitating illness. What compelled them to keep creating? How did their personal challenges allow them to become more innovative? Hear these geniuses' incredible music, and learn how creativity helped Beethoven, Chopin, Scott Joplin, Gershwin, and Hildegard von Bingen transcend disease.
We invite the community to come join us for this very special program, in the celebration of this very wonderful instrument. A light reception in Fellowship Hall will follow the concert.
This concert is free for all who attend.

10am Lecture and Conversation- On Earth as it Is in Heaven:
A survey of the last hundred years of American church history reveals a connection between the popular theology about heaven and our understanding of home, identity, and mission in life. But in the last two generations there has been very little interest in heaven, which has changed the way we discern who we are and how we should live.
Sunday, October 14, 2018 - 10am Worship in the Sanctuary with Dr. Barnes preaching
11:15am Lecture and Conversation - The Temptation to Be Less Than Human
According to Matthew's Gospel, Jesus experienced his three temptations in the desert immediately after he identified with humanity in his baptism. These temptations reveal three of the most prevalent ways we lose our humanity. And the response of Jesus to each of them reveals the way we can resist the temptation to be less than human.
