Thursday evening's Wild Life Hymn Festival debuts and kick starts our assembly

Wild Life

  • A Hymn Festival

  • Thursday, 6/13/2024, 7:30 pm

  • Center of Compassion building, Love of Christ Lutheran, Mesa

  • Organized by Deacon Lorraine Brugh and Deacon Kate Adelman

A hymn festival is a distinctively Lutheran invention creating a conversation between music and community. Sharing songs from every time in history and every cultural community, we learn melody, words, and rhythms not necessarily our own. In the spoken dialog we are encouraged to explore thoughts and ideas not familiar to us. Together, we are transported into the creativity and spiritual expression of our sisters and brothers across the globe.

As we sing, ponder, and pray, our hearts align with the grand design of our Architect Creator. When we open to a world of beauty, we are filled with awe and humbled to the core of our being. Is there a greater worship we can offer?

Wild Life, a Hymn Festival, invites us to blend our one small voice with the voices of Eternity – the artists, cultures, earth forms, and opportunities that God spun into existence because we are loved.
