Lenten Adult Faith Enrichment Program Handel’s “Messiah” Messiah, by Geoge Frideric Handel, is a biblical overview of salvation history. It is a widely known and recognized musical work. Messiah is unique in that the entire oratorio consists of quotations from Scripture, designed to tell the story of the world’s redemption through Jesus the Messiah. The words of the Messiah are also God’s living word, and as we meditate on these texts, this study will increase our understanding of God’s saving plan and help us to be open to God’s grace.
Format: Bible study, discussion, and reflection questions. As we proceed through the study we will be watching a video performance of Messiah in five parts. The cost of the book for this program is $10.00/participant.
When: Thursday evening sessions starting February 12th from 7:00-8:30 PM or Friday morning sessions starting February 13th from10:00-11:30 AM. The program will take place over five weeks. There will be no meetings March 5th and March 6th.
