Our study of the Psalms continues at First Presbyterian Church!
“If you are interested in exploring the psalms further... here are a few resources that might be of interest to you or to your community. I will also be posting additional material on the Brehm Texas website. A warm thanks to The Calvin Institute of Christian Worship and to Cardiphonia for their help in collecting these resources.” - David Taylor, assistant professor of theology and culture and the director of Brehm Texas
