LockIn Let's remember MLK's life and legacy together with our annual lock-in.  We'll help out in the Arm-in-Arm office, have a late night run to Hoagie Haven, and be grateful for the community that surrounds us.

Deep thoughts? I don't have any. My brain is too tired from teaching a class on Prison Ministry with a prison chaplain at Princeton Seminary.   
 
What do I know about prison? Not much, honestly. But here is what I was arguing: Christian presence in prison is a sacrament. Like Baptism or the Lord's Supper, it is a means of grace to show us divine freedom.   
 
Who did I learn this from? Martin Luther King, Jr. We're celebrating MLK weekend with a Lock-In. Consider it training for more serious work down the road.

ChoirsChoir Notes 

Dear Chorale & Cantorei,

It's great to sing and be together again.  Thank you for your inspiration and commitment to worship through song!  I pray we always remember what we sing. 

"Where cross the crowded ways of life, where sound the cries of clan and race, above the noise and selfish strife, we hear your voice, O God of grace."
