Psalm Festival Program
As part of its year of Dwelling in the Psalms, the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship is providing support to worshiping communities throughout the United States and Canada to host a public psalm festival worship event that features congregational singing based on Psalms. We encourage using the resource Psalms for All Seasons: A Complete Psalter for Worship (Brazos and Faith Alive Christian Resources, 2012) and other psalm resources of your choosing.
Psalm Festivals
As part of the Dwelling in the Psalms year, the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship has provided resources to support Psalm festivals around Canada and the United States. These events are open to the public and many will be livestreamed.
Dwelling in the Psalms
You are invited to join the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship (CICW) in a year of dwelling in the Psalms—the prayerbook and songbook of the Bible. Together, the 150 psalms guide Christian worshipers through the full range of human emotions and experiences, making space for communities to practice praise and lament, to ask questions and find words of comfort, and so much more. Our work at CICW over the years has connected us to many people engaging in thoughtful and imaginative work around the psalms. We are eager to build on those connections and encourage more new and ancient ways to dwell in the psalms.
Salmo 15: La ética social como requisito de la adoración
El Salmo 15 es un llamado a adorar a Dios con integridad y justicia en nuestras relaciones con el prójimo. En la medida en que, diariamente, vivimos nuestras relaciones sociales con acciones de justicia y respeto hacia nuestros semejantes, nuestro culto es aceptable al Señor.
Vertical Habits: Worship and Our Faith Vocabulary
Vertical Habits is a name given to the process of connecting words used in our relationship with people with words used to express these emotions to God. The biblical Psalms are the foundational mentor and guide in this vocabulary and grammar for worship.

Salmo 8: Ser como niños y niñas, admirar la creación y adorar a Dios
Contemplar la creación de Dios, su gloria y majestad, nos lleva a la alabanza.
