The Psalms as Christian Prayer
The Psalms and prayers of Scripture create a kind of dialogue between the human creature
and the God who made us and redeemed us. They give voice to our cries of woe and our
shouts of joy. In these lectures we will explore that dialogue from both ends, asking all the
time what this means theologically and how it has to do with our faith and life as Christians.

Saturday, February 14, Morning Lectures (9 am and 11 am) -Do Not Be Afraid.
The Gospel and God’s Response
In the Midst of the Congregation, I Will Praise You. Doxology, Trust and Obedience
Cost: $20 for the Friday night lecture, $20 for the Saturday lectures, or $30 for the entire
programs.
