Time After Pentecost — Lectionary 20 (Year C)

This week in Christian worship, congregations will encounter an image from the book of Hebrews, of a great cloud of witnesses who came before us and who inspire us to live faithfully. Join us on Sing For Joy to hear music from and about this great cloud of witnesses.
