This vesper service features music from the soon-to-be-released Sending Songs album by the music collective Porter’s Gate. Created in collaboration with Fuller Seminary’s 91 for Workers project, this album offers songs that commission God’s people with mission and purpose into their places of work and play.  

This service was originally presented at the 2025 Calvin Symposium on 91.
