SUMMARY:Duke Ellington Sacred Concert - Connecting Chords Music Festival Performance
DESCRIPTION:For the first time in 60 years\, a Duke Ellington Sacred Concert will be performed in West Michigan – this is going to be special! Ellington called these concerts “the most important thing I have ever done”. They were created between 1965 and 1973 as expressions of Ellington’s faith through the fusion of jazz improvisation\, big-band orchestration\, gospel vocals\, choral elements and spiritual themes. Participating artists include the Western Michigan University Jazz Orchestra\, led by Scott Cowan; vocal soloists Susan Anthony\, Tiffany Gridiron and Brandon Harris; tap dancer Jumaane Taylor; and a mass choir.

SUMMARY:Oct. 4 Worship Service: World Communion Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Join us for World Communion Sunday as we gather with Christians around the globe at Christ’s table and begin our 2026 generosity campaign\, Our Hearts\, Our Home. Together we will hear the disciples’ prayer\, “Increase our faith\,” and Paul’s encouragement to rekindle the gift of God within us. In worship\, song\, prayer\, story\, and Holy Communion\, we will remember that God has made a home among us through mutual love\, hospitality\, inclusion\, justice\, and shared ministry. Whether you come carrying joy\, weariness\, longing\, gratitude\, or hope\, there is room for you here. Come to the table\, come rekindle faith\, come consider how your generosity helps tend this spiritual home for the year ahead.
