SUMMARY:Music as the Language of Faith
DESCRIPTION:Lunch (Virtual) & Learn \nYou are invited to a ZOOM presentation on by Eric Friesen  – on “Music as the Language of Faith” \nUsing recorded video examples\, Eric will present the thesis that for many of us music is the most powerful language of faith\, that the hymns we sing and the great music of our Christian tradition\, is what often carries us through the wilderness parts of our Faith Journey.  Many will know of Eric through his work at the CBC but you will see in his short bio that he has wide interests and national and international recognition.  An experience not to be missed!!! \nThe ZOOM presentation will start on Tuesday April 26\, 2022 at 1:00 pm. (note time change) \nSigning into ZOOM will commence at 12:45 pm for a time of visiting.  At 1:00 pm we will have announcements and then introduce our speaker.  \nEveryone from Sydenham St.\, Chalmers and Faith United Churches and friends are invited to attend.  \nIf you wish to attend this event\, please contact Meikle Turner at 613-542-7744 or meikle_irish@yahoo.com  for the ZOOM link\, preferably by Sunday evening April 24th.  The Link will be e-mailed to participants on Monday April 25th. \n  \nEric Friesen Bio \n \nEric Friesen is a broadcaster\, writer and speaker on music\, culture and faith in both Canada and the United States.
