Monday's thoughts

On Sunday, July 19Th, we will once again have the honor of hearing Dr. Eugene Lowry. He will be preaching in the 8, 9:15, and 10:45 services in the Chapel at 8, and in the Sanctuary at 9:15 and 10:45.

We had the privilege of having him with us last year and he awakened us to the important interaction between music and religion. He is an accomplished musician and a professor of preaching. He is the author of several books and is in great demand as a speaker all over the world.

On Sunday evening Eugene give us a concert on "The Theology of the Blues". His concerts are every bit as exciting as his sermons.

Dr. Lowry is the "Theologian in Residence" at First Church in Boulder, Colorado. That is a program that was set up 25 years ago when I was appointed there. The church has a cabin in the mountains near Boulder. Guest preachers and theologians are invited to be in residence in the mountains and are asked to have some interaction with First Church. It allows the theologians to do some writing in a secluded setting and it benefits the church by making available the insights of the theologians who are spending time in the area.

I know you will enjoy Dr. Lowry as much this time as you did before. It will be a wonderful Sunday at the church.

I hope to see you there.
