Presenting Mark Miller

Wednesday, June 10th

Northaven UMC

11211 Preston Road,

Dallas, TX 75230

Potluck at 6 pm

Mark Miller at 7 pm

Join Northaven for an evening of songs and stories from one of Methodism’s best known contemporary composer/performers. Mark will share songs and stories from his life in the United Methodist Church. We’ll start the evening with a potluck meal with members from congregations who welcome LGBT persons. Then, Mark will share songs and observations on, in his words, “what it’s like to be brown and gay in the UMC.” Mark Miller is the composer of many well-known contemporary church hymns and songs, such as “Draw the Circle Wide” and “Imagine the People of God.” His choral anthems are best sellers for Abingdon Press and Choristers Guild and his hymns are published in “Worship & Song”, and “The Faith We Sing.” Mark is on faculty at Drew University, and a lecturer at Yale. He believes passionately that music can change the world and, as Cornell West’s says, that “Justice is what love looks like in public.”

To Carpool, meet at Holy Covenant at 5:15 pm.  Debbie will drive the church Suburban.

I have not heard from anyone wishing to carpool at a later time, so I will assume you have talked amongst yourselves.  You are welcome to meet at Northaven.  

Greetings!
