Bono and Eugene Peterson Marvel at the Psalms

YES! Bono and Eugene Peterson are at First Larne this Sunday evening!

This Sunday evening's service at First at 7pm will transport us to a cabin in Montana to eavesdrop on a conversation between Irish rock star, Bono, and the Bible scholar responsible for "The Message" - the most widely used modern paraphrase of the Bible. The New York Times commented that the contrast between the two made the encounter so interesting - "like a 12-cyclinder Maserati next to a horse-drawn carriage."

The two men, separated by generational and musical preferences, are brought together by their thrilling admiration for the challenge and inspiration of the Psalms of the Old Testament. In there short conversation there are a few gems of insight for the rest of us.

You will not want to miss this unique encounter.
