U MattersIn Wednesday’s Summer Psalms class someone shared a word: ”Magnificant.” He said a friend put together two words: “magnificent” and “significant.” It calls to mind, Mary’s Magnificat (Latin for magnifies), as in “My soul magnifies” the Lord. This week we will talk about Psalms of praise, where we celebrate how magnificent and significant is the God we worship.

This Wednesday will be the last class on Psalms' beauty and theology, as well as how they reflect the entire human experience, from exuberant praise to crippling shame to vengeful rage. Lewis will be our guide, but we will all be reading, singing, lamenting and praising together, learning what a gift the Psalms are to our spiritual lives.
