On February 25, Grand Rapids Christian Schools 7th-12th grade Orchestra program is pleased to present Sing a New Song: A Festival of Psalms. This concert grows out of GRCS’s year-long theme of dwelling in the Psalms, which is supported in part by the generosity of the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship’s Vital Worship, Vital Preaching Grants Program.  

The Calvin Institute of Christian Worship is excited to partner with Arrabon, a spiritual formation ministry that equips Christ-followers to actively and creatively pursue reconciliation and racial healing in their communities, to offer a curated experiential learning trip to Montgomery, Alabama. 

Singing for Our Lives is a hymn festival to reimagine the ancient imprecatory psalms—those fierce, unflinching cries for justice—as a sacred invitation to transformation and community resilience.

Developed in partnership with the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship and the Calvin University School of Graduate and Continuing Studies, this online course equips worship planners and leaders of all types of ministries with practical tools for relating well to people from a variety of cultures. Understanding and respecting cultural differences is key to a healthy ministry. 

As part of The Abyssinian Baptist Church’s annual Black Music Month Celebration, Psalmody in Color is a weekend-long festival dedicated to exploring and uplifting the psalm settings of Black composers, past and present. Through concerts, lectures, and workshops, the festival highlights the rich sacred music traditions that have shaped worship and cultural life across generations.
