As we mark the near-centrum of this Lenten season with a special gathering together, we recall Martin Luther’s declaration that “next to the word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world.” Or perhaps Hans Christian Anderson establishes tonight’s mood with “where words fail, music speaks.”
In this hour together, we move from the light of day toward the dusk of evening through scripture, Holy Communion, prayer and music. Each and every element of this experience was selected with you in mind. Metaphor abounds - from 66 candles in the front of the sanctuary, to text painting in hymns - and provide the watchful participant an opportunity to be fully immersed.
