Music Sunday: The Journey of Gratitude with Mezzo-Soprano Janette Lallier and Pianist, Markus Hauck

Together we will journey, through song and reflection, as we seek the spirit of gratitude through the lens of pilgrimage. Inspired by Janette’s personal pilgrimages on El Camino de Santiago, this service will invite us to take time to focus on each moment of the journey. Reflecting on the physical, emotional, and spiritual stages of our journey; we will practice gratitude for both the smooth and rough terrain of the path itself, appreciating the guidance and help we receive from those we meet along the way. Cultivating a mindset of thankfulness, we will turn inward to acknowledge the blessings, even the small ones, that bring joy and meaning to the stage in our pilgrimage that is life itself.
