Heart Song: The Psalm Within Us
Date: October 19
Cost: $40 includes program and lunch
Location: St. David's Church, 14 Jamar Dr., Fayetteville, NY 13066
Description: Some of us read the Psalms weekly or hear them on special occasions. Just what are these ancient and very personal sounding songs? Who wrote them and why? What would a psalm sound like today if written from our very own experience of great joy or deep need?
Our friend and gifted teacher, the Rev. Dr. Thomas Worth, will present basic background on the Book of Psalms, including psalm types and formats, and will guide us in writing two psalms of our own. No special writing talent is required and there is no pressure to share your work aloud. All you need is a curiosity to discover the words/songs/ideas/poems which might live within your own heart! This is a day equally suited to those who might be new at writing about their spiritual experiences as well as experienced journalers/writers.
The program runs from 9 am to 3 pm
