Bach Cantata 80 Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott
 

Sep 27 – Sunday morning Bach @ St. John's
9:00 am and 11:00 am

Join us as we enjoy Bach Cantata 80 and explore Act 2:1-13 with the theme of "New Power". All are welcome! Please come early to get a good seat.

Coffee and refreshments will be served in the Trendell Lounge between the two services. We are in week 3 of the Acts series. To listen to the previous sermons, visit the Acts series page.

"The German church cantata was placed between the Gospel reading and the Sermons of the Lutheran liturgy and culminated a long tradition of sermon music that sought to teach and persuade the listener." – from The Handbook to Bach's Sacred Cantata Texts
