Welcome

Welcome to "The Liturgy of Peace: Reflections on Word and Song," a new weekly blog dedicated to exploring the deep connection between our Sunday worship and our calling as Christians to be agents of peace and reconciliation in the world. While the Word of God directs our minds, we believe that music is a profound agent of change in its own right. It has the unique power to move beyond intellectual understanding to stir the soul, uniting a congregation in a single breath and a shared purpose. A single melody can carry a profound truth of the Gospel past our defenses, planting it deep within our hearts to gently shape our character. This inner transformation, nurtured by song, is what equips us to live a more Christ-like life and to share that spirit of grace and reconciliation with our community.

Each week, this blog will journey through the scriptures of the Revised Common Lectionary, alongside the hymns and anthems that give voice to our faith. Our goal is to discover how the sacred rhythm of our liturgy nourishes us to live out the Gospel's message of peace in our daily lives. Join us as we connect the beauty of our worship to the quiet, vital work of becoming people of peace.
