Adult Seminar Series
The Rev. Dr. Duncan Newcomer will lead a seven-part series on “Sowing Tears, Reaping Joy: The Bible and Brahms’s Requiem.” This is a Kerygma Program study that follows the famous “German Requiem” on a tour of biblical prompts about death, grief, the brevity of life and faith for here and hereafter. Through music and Scripture, we move from graveside to grieving, from the challenges of self-reflection to new perspectives and hope beyond
