Birmingham Life and Culture Series
On Wednesday, October 21, John Mason Hodges—conductor, lecturer, composer, and writer—will be speaking at Covenant. During his lecture, "The Marriage of Form and Content: Does the Way We Say Things Matter?" Professor Hodges will draw on the Bible, Jonathan Edwards, Shakespeare, and the music of Johannes Brahms to bring attention to the connections among theology, form, and content found in artistic expressions. These connections help Christians engage with the intended meaning in such works and can provide a deeper understanding of the relation of God to His creation.
Our fellowship dinner will begin at 5:30, and Dr. Hodges will speak at 6:30. Childcare will be available. This event is sponsored by Theopolis Bible Institute, Beeson School of Divinity, Cathedral Church of the Advent, Covenant Presbyterian, and Trinity Presbyterian.

Feast Not Famine. Our first "Feast Not Famine: A Harvest Supper" will be Wednesday, November 18. Adam Wright of Act of Congress will share his music, and we'll hear from Gordan Bals of Daymark Counseling. Gordon will address avoiding the famine of expectations, and the sometimes "crazy" holiday family dynamics, while keeping your focus on the feast that gospel hospitality provides.
Women's Retreat. Our 2016 retreat will be February 26-28 at the Lodge at Lake Guntersville. Come and learn more about what it means to be ROOTED in Christ's love. Information coming soon!
