Awe and Presence

A Conference on Worship and the Arts

About this Event

How do beauty and liturgy shape us for life with God? What does the beauty of the liturgy have to do with “real” life?

Gather with us as we explore how the sacraments and sacred rhythms, illuminated by the riches of art, literature, music, and history, draw us into the awe-filled presence of the One who is true, good, and beautiful, and shapes us in his Image.

This three-day event in St. Louis will feature engaging talks, shared meals, and corporate worship at the church, with an optional film screening in the city on Saturday evening.
