We care about the whole person and walk together during times of joy, sorrow, and transition and bring the good news that nothing can separate them from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Please check out the ongoing ministries provided at St James.

The Bible & Handel's Messiah: Lenten Edition

Wednesday, March 3, 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

https://www.stjamesp.org/blog/the-bible-and-handels-messiah-lenten-edition/

Starting Wednesday, February 25, 2021 | 11:00 a.m. | Zoom



Please join us in the Graham Parlor during Lent on Wednesdays for music and biblical texts from Handel’s Messiah. Messiah tells the story of our Lord Jesus Christ and is one of the best-loved musical compositions of all time. In our study we are going to take advantage of that love and use it as an avenue into the biblical text on which Messiah is based. This 5-week presentation is designed to deepen our appreciation of both the words and the music of Handel’s oratorio. Optional readings and a background study guide will be available. Please contact Rev Cheryl Brainard to sign up at [email protected] or to receive a copy of the study guide.
