Time After Pentecost — Lectionary 31 (Year B)

This week, Sing For Joy features both festive stir-your-heart hymnody for Reformation Sunday, as well as melt-your-heart serenity in music that honors the love commandments. Festivity and serenity: an unusual but welcome combination. I hope you'll join us.
