Creating from the Psalms: Creative Opportunity in this year’s Worship and Wisdom course

Carey is offering Worship and Wisdom (L6/L7) with Michael Rhodes Wednesday mornings in semester two. The first half of the course explores the Psalms, while the second half wrestles with the OT’s wisdom books.

This year’s course will have a creative artifact option for one of the major assessments, and optional songwriting gatherings are taking place right after class for students interested in writing a Psalm-inspired song as part of that assessment. If you are interested in taking this course and want to learn more, email Michael for more details.
