2025 Summer Worship Series: The Soundtrack of Our Lives
We are excited to introduce the summer worship series: The Soundtrack of Our Lives running through September 7. This series will explore the intersection of music, social movements, and faith as we highlight iconic musical artists from different eras and examine how their songs captured the hearts of listeners during pivotal moments in history as well as how the Psalms, the ancient texts, convey some of these same messages.
Each week, the series will feature works of legendary musicians such as Bob Dylan, U2, Joni Mitchell, Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin and many others, and explore how their music connected with the cultural and social movements of their times. From the idealism of the 1960s and the free love movement to the political unrest of the Vietnam War and the rebellious spirit of the 1980s, music is a soundtrack to the collective human experience. This series will highlight how these artists spoke to the struggles, hopes, and faith of their audiences.
But the series is not just about reminiscing on the music — it’s about understanding how these songs resonate deeply with people’s lives, fostering community, healing, and spiritual reflection. Each sermon will provide a deeper insight into how these songs spoke to both the culture of the day and the faith that grounded many listeners through turbulent times.
The Soundtrack of Our Lives series will run through September 7, with each Sunday dedicated to a specific artist and Psalm. Whether you identify most with the ‘60s counterculture, the ‘80s pop scene, or anything in between or after, there will be something for everyone to reflect on and engage with.
Join us for an unforgettable journey through music, culture, and faith that will shine new light to both the past and the present.
