Music often plays a vital role in the struggle for liberation. Protest songs are a rallying cry against oppression. Songs of lament give voice to suffering, offering solace to the soul in hard times.

Others lift our spirits with an imagination of what’s possible. Some do all three, or more! This service will celebrate the power of music, and honor Lenard Starks in his final Sunday as Director of All Souls Jubilee Singers after 27 years. All are invited to a reception luncheon after the service in Pierce Hall.
