Formed by the Psalms
Summer 2026

This summer we once again get to enter into the poems, prayers, songs, and journals of the Scripture together. The Psalms not only teach us and show us that it is okay to feel, they also profoundly can form us. How so?

Join us as we walk through 14 different Psalms this summer that shape how we are formed as human beings. We’ve broken them up into 4 categories of formation:

Formed Through Worship
Psalms 8 → 15 → 29
Formed Through Shared Struggle
Psalms 73 → 90 → 95 → 102
Formed Through Community
Psalms 118 → 122 → 131 → 133
Formed Through Witness
Psalms 140 → 146 → 147
