Participant Guide: guides daily study and preparation for discussion in the weekly group meeting. The expectation for daily study will be no more than thirty minutes.

Psalms
10 sessions, 60-90 minutes

Make a deeper connection to the world of the Psalms so that these well known scriptures can help you give voice to all aspects of our human experience---joy, faith, uncertainty and sorrow.

During two weekly video segments, experience a varied presentation of individual psalm texts, including dramatic reading, music, dance, and images. Listen to insights into specific psalms presented by one of two biblical scholars through an informal, roundtable conversation format.

Ideal experience for adults who are interested in the practice of prayer and worship and would like to connect prayer practice with Scripture. The study is accessible for adults with little prior Bible experience.

Sessions:

Word of God, Words of Prayer
The Prayer Book of God’s People
Praying the Psalms
The Language of the Heart
A Geography of the Imagination
A Theology of the Imagination
Lament and Praise
Grace and Repentance
Love and Wrath
Hallelujah and Amen
