Through diverse musical approaches and cultural perspectives, the panelists will consider how the psalms continue to resonate in modern contexts by offering language for lament and praise, shaping liturgical practice, and fostering resilience in both personal and communal experience.

This chapel service is a festival of psalms centered on Psalm 42. This service originally took place as part of the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship’s “Dwelling in the Psalms” year. This event was a partnership between the Calvin University Campus Choir, under the direction of Dr. Mark Stover, and the Woodlawn Church choir, directed by Chan Gyu Jang.
In this workshop, the McGrath family and Kiran Young Wimberly will discuss how spiritual practices, particularly singing the psalms, can build resilience in our lives. In a retreat-like experience, interwoven with psalms set to Celtic music, we will sing together as we reflect on what brings us joy, strength, and hope so we can flourish in the face of daily challenges.

La felicidad genuina se vive en el seno del hogar (Salmo 128). En la vida de toda persona se experimentan peligros de muerte, pero Dios escucha y socorre a quienes lo invocan (Salmo 107). Mantener viva la memoria de las grandes acciones de Dios en la historia enriquece nuestra vida y adoración a Dios (Salmo 105). Asimismo, estudiar y reflexionar sobre lo que Dios ha hecho y hace en el mundo nos ayuda a ser sabios artesanos de nuestra vida personal y comunitaria (Salmo 111). Y, aun cuando vivamos situaciones de peligro mortal, si Dios está de nuestra parte, somos más que vencedores por su amor (Salmo 124).
