“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!” Psalm 34:8a
In Psalm 34 the Psalmist encourages the reader to experience the goodness of God through personal encounters that involve our senses. One of the ways we can do this is by engaging with the with creativity expressed through performers and musicians. The involvement of our senses as we listen and interact with music and song can be transformative and can draw us closer to the God who created such beauty.
Our concert series at Trinity will awaken your senses to the greatness of our Creator as we take in the magnificence of music, both old and new, expressed through voice and instrument. These concerts are meant to be a blessing to many, so we invite you, your family, and others in the community to join us in tasting God’s goodness through the gift of music.
Blessings to All,
