Hymn & Haw
August 15, 2021 • Jarrod Richey
Jarrod Richey led this Adult Sunday school class on the work of reviving and reworking some of the historic hymnody and psalmody in our church heritage. The iterations of many of the hymns present today bear little resemblance to many of these hymns when they first were composed and sung.

July 4, 2021 • Jarrod Richey
Bach's Musical Offering an instrumental work that is remarkable for how it was intended to be a joke on Bach, and he was able to use it as a marvelous musical rebuke of not only Frederick the Great but also the Enlightenment ideas that were overruling centuries of belief and practice. We'll listen, look, and dissect the work for the great encouragement that it is.
