Awake, My Soul: Singing the Psalms Together

Lament & Penitence

Saturday, March 14, 2026, 7:00-8:30PM

A time of singing the Psalms together, focusing on Psalms of lament & penitence. Social time & refreshments following.

The Psalms are the prayer book and the song book of the Bible. They encompass the full range of human emotion and all of the language of relationship, to God and to others. “I love you.” “ I’m sorry.” “Why is this happening?” “Help me!” “Thank you.”

Many people use the Psalms in their personal prayer. Some congregations use the Psalms each week in corporate worship. At St. Luke’s we sing them. We set these ancient prayers to modern music and sing them responsively with a cantor in our communal worship services. David, the worship director at St. Luke’s, has been composing these modern musical settings for responsorial congregational Psalm-singing for many years, and now we are excited to share them with others.
