Drawing Near: A Journey with the Psalms of Ascent

November 22nd, 2024

As part of her doctoral work in biblical enactment and storytelling, Mrs. Tellinghuisen was asked to design a chapel and lead a workshop for Calvin University students. Our 7/8 students were able to attend the chapel on Tuesday morning. They stayed afterward to discuss how the good news of God’s nearness was communicated through Scripture, song, and visual imagery.

From the introduction: 

“And as we prepare to move from Ordinary Time to Advent, we recognize that all time in God’s story and the life of the church is extraordinary, because we are always invited to draw near to God, to know and love the One who first loved us. The One who was made flesh and dwelt among us, as we will soon remember and celebrate. And even as we reach out for him, he is, in the words of Brother Lawrence, nearer than we can imagine.”
