The Psalms Project

Would you like to read the Book of Psalms, really read it? And not just read all 150 poems/songs/hymns that have been the backbone of Jewish and Christian worship for as long as both religions have had worshipers, but take them on and make them your own? That’s the goal of the Psalms Project, an adult education opportunity for the coming program year.

Psalms Project participants will meet with the Rev. Dr. Craig D. Townsend, Associate for Faith Formation, October through May on the first Wednesday of each month, 7:00-8:00 pm, for conversation about and exploration of these remarkable works. We will gather virtually on Zoom to start the year, and in person as soon as that is a safe practice. For access to the Zoom meetings, you will need to contact Fr. Craig at

We will read the psalms in order, a few each week, and we won’t just study them. We’ll pray them and sing them to find their depths as poems and as spiritual expressions. The weekly reading schedule, an introduction to each week’s reading and other information about The Psalms Project and leader Fr. Craig are available here.
