The Lutheran Church of Our Savior concludes a church year that has celebrated the 500th Anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation by celebrating a special evening Vespers service on April 22 at 4 p.m.
Johann Sebastian Bach, who used his musical gifts to express the human condition and communicate God’s love and grace, is most known for his work in Leipzig, Germany at the St. Thomas and St. Nicholas churches every single Sunday in morning worship and in a Sunday evening Vespers service.
In both contexts, he composed a cantata for singers and orchestra that was based on the Scripture verses for the Sunday. On April 22, the LCOS Adult Choir, organ, orchestra, and soloists will sing Cantata 112, based on Psalm 23. The Youth Choir and ChildrenSong also will join and sing works by other Lutheran composers. At the end, all choirs will sing The Lord Bless You and Keep You. Residents are encouraged to come.
