You are invited to join the 91ÁÔÆæ (CICW) in a year of dwelling in the Psalms—the prayerbook and songbook of the Bible. Together, the 150 psalms guide Christian worshipers through the full range of human emotions and experiences, making space for communities to practice praise and lament, to ask questions and find words of comfort, and so much more. Our work at CICW over the years has connected us to many people engaging in thoughtful and imaginative work around the psalms. We are eager to build on those connections and encourage more new and ancient ways to dwell in the psalms.

We hope you will join us in this year of dwelling in the Psalms, and we are excited to present to you several opportunities to engage with us!   

Psalm 133:1: “How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity!â€


Psalm Events 

Learning and worship events highlighting the psalms are being planned at Calvin University and Calvin Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, Michigan. These events coincide with the 150th anniversary of these schools—a particularly favorable way for CICW to celebrate the formative and expressive ways worship shapes us through the 150 psalms!   

This page, along with our calendar of events will be updated with Psalms-related events as they become available. We invite you to save the date for the following events:
