What happens when you put an ancient wisdom text in conversation with a modern country song? 

The Book of Ecclesiastes begins with a poem describing how there is "nothing new under the sun." According to the narrator, Qohelet, in a world where everything repeats and yet nothing endures, there is no ultimate meaning to life. In her song "One Little Song," folk singer-songwriter Gillian Welch acknowledges that this might be true, and adds a wistful note: "there's gotta be a song left to sing, everybody can't have thought of everything." Both Welch and Qohelet propose answers to this dilemma, and what they suggest might surprise you. 
Join us for a service of poetry and song, and a celebration of the human impulse towards creativity and pleasure in the face of existential angst.
