The Grief Sessions is a video seminar hosted by Mike Tucker the co-host of Lifestyle Magazine and author of Tears to Joy written by Mike after the loss of his wife. The course consists of six sessions lasting 90+ minutes that will share scientifically researched, Bible-based, and people-proven ways to turn loss into living again.

The program will feature arrangements of holiday favorites from J.S. Bach and Brahms, as well as recent works by Melvin West and Paul Fey (an arrangement of the Widor Toccata combined with O Come All Ye Faithful). Also included will be singing of several favorite carols and an improvisation by the organist. The full range of sounds from the Rieger organ will be featured, from the quietest whisper to the thundering full organ. It will be presented by Michael Koller on the organ and Loren Dickinson with the spoken word. Several of the selections were arranged by Melvin West. Loren Dickinson and Melvin West lived next door to each other for some 12 years during their teaching careers at Walla Walla College (now University). It was during their many gab sessions that the idea of this vesper-type service, Evensong, was born. Doctor Dickinson was looking for an opportunity to present some of the wonderful gems of literature, while at the same time Doctor West was exploring the possibility of a vesper-type program with the organist providing several compositions, but relieved by readings from literature. So it seemed natural to create an EVENSONG program in which the organ music was separated by selections from literature.

We are excited to share our new Oregon Conference app, hosted by VOBO! This app will be our Conference app the rest of this year.

We are still building out the special Conference app content, so stay tuned!
