Watch the Live Recording

On October 27 we enjoyed An Early Music Concert from the Peoria Baroque Players:  LISETTE KIELSON (recorder), S. BLAKE DUNCAN (baroque oboe), MICHAEL DICKER (baroque bassoon), CORA SWENSON LEE (baroque cello), APOLLO LEE (baroque trumpet), and POLLY BRECHT (harpsichord and organ).  The program features a variety of works from the Baroque era, most played on copies of historical instruments at 415Hz tuning.

“What goes through your mind as you sit in the sanctuary and look around?

As I sit in my pew and look up at the cross with the wonderful light illuminating it, I am reminded of why I am at Westminster on this particular day. The cross reminds me that Christ died for me and, in a sense, I am to do the same in my daily life. The brightness of the cross illustrates for me the brightness of living my life in the way of Christ.”
