Psummer in the Psalms
The Psalms are one of the most read, sung, and referenced books in all of the scriptures. The Psalms are a diverse book or poetry and prayers as people respond to God as they travel on their journey through life. This summer we will dive into the Psalms as we Read, Reflect and Respond to various Psalms each Sunday. Join us on this journey as we spend the Psummer in the Psalms.
Week 5: Psalm 150
