Join Hope Lutheran Artist-in-Residence John Hermanson with Maren Haynes Marchesini for meditative musical worship services featuring John's original music. John's songs draw from the Book of Isaiah, a collection of prophetic texts in the Jewish canon. The book is referenced frequently in the teaching of Jesus and reveals that justice, liberation, care for immigrants, release of prisoners, redistribution of wealth and critiques of power are at the heart of our theology. Advent services blend together John's 2025 congregational liturgy Isaiah: Is This the Fast We Choose? with a meditative performance of his 2017 Isaiah record.
