Say “Wake, Awake” to many organists and church musicians and they will immediately begin playing one version of the German Chorale “Wachet Auf” in their head.  The hymn was written in 1599 and has been in hymnals ever since.  Buxtehude, Bach, Mendelsohn, Reger, and Distler loved the tune and used in in their compositions.  We’ll listen to some compositions using the hymn and talk about it’s history and meaning.

Unnamed Women in the Bible ~ with Allison Maus
What’s in a name? Many Biblical characters aren’t given names in our Bible’s text. Yet their stories are included and their roles are important to how we might understand God, Scripture, and ourselves. Join Allison for a closer look at a couple of stories specifically of unnamed women as to ask questions and seek to apply the text.  The first two-week series was  for September 20th and 27th.
​
The Advent Edition (November 29)  explores the role of women in the Christmas story. We'll look closely at the text and use our tools of sacred imagination to help us reflect on parts of the story that highlight some of the prominent women that surrounded the infant Jesus.
