“Awake up, my glory” is a setting of Psalm 57 [KJV]. Sungji Hong wrote the music and submitted the setting. This text is a call for all of creation to joyfully praise the Lord our God. I tried to capture this idea of joy at God’s unmerited goodness and grace.

It was written in the spring of 2019 for the Deus Ex Musica composition project “A Musical Exploration of the Psalms,” performed by Megan Roth and Julia Carey at Old South Church in Boston on June 28, 2019. The piece is scored for soprano and piano.
It is a psalm full of praise, blessing, worship, and glory.

In this panel, Hispanic pastors share the learnings and experiences lived by their congregations after completing projects related to the development of their understanding and practices about worship. Together, they represent a variety of Hispanic denominations as well as of "dreams" they were able to realize (learning about the Creeds, bilingual worship, multigenerational worship, worship in non-traditional settings). Their congregations were part of the first cohort of Hispanic congregations receiving "worship grants" under a new initiative CICW launched in July of 2022.
What basic models for worship planning are out there, and which patterns will work best in your context? Join a lively discussion of several worship planning models by the authors and pastors who use them. Bring your questions and suggestions as we learn together.
Join us after the University worship service (chapel) for a conversation with worship leader Kimberly Williams. We will explore topics related to worship leading and planning for diverse congregations, leading teams, songwriting and recording, and mentoring women in ministry.

In this session Terry Wildman will share the vision, process, and outcomes of the First Nations Version (FNV) New Testament. Why was this translation needed? Who was involved in the translation? What were some of the cultural challenges faced by the translation council? What does it say about the translations done in Native languages in the past? How did the translation council decide on more than 185 key words and terms? What are some of the unique qualities of the FNV versus other English versions? How has the FNV affected the worship expressions of some Native believers? What is the future of the FNV?
