WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 5:30 p.m. – “Through the Waters”– From Pastor Amy: God leads the people of Israel through the waters, out of slavery and into freedom. By the power of resurrection, God liberates us from slavery to sin and brings us through the waters of baptism to new life. The service begins with the Evening Prayer liturgy from ELW. Luther student Samson Masanga and member Bob Larson will read a segment of James Weldon Johnson’s poem “Let My People Go” from his God’s Trombones: Seven Negro Sermons in Verse, 1927. An electronic version of this work with original illustrations is available here (“Let My People Go” begins on page 45): http://docsouth.unc.edu/southlit/johnson/johnson.html
