About Sunday Compline Service: The Sabbath Compline at 6:30 pm in Cowan Chapel is a night prayer of psalm, silence, and song — a creative hush with God at the end of the day at the beginning of the week.
Cowan Chapel is adjacent to Union Church on the Scaffold Cane Rd. side.
In the midst of his distress, the persona in Psalm 86 petitions God, “Bring joy to Your servant’s heart, for to You, my Lord, I lift up my soul.” We’ll sing this psalm, for this fourth week of Lent, and the Taizé In God Alone, as well.
Cantor: Robert Rorrer; Instrumentalists: Lisa Vaughn, Charles Hoffman, Robert Rorrer
