This week marks the conclusion of the Lenten Meditations in Music, a cherished tradition hosted at the First Presbyterian Church in downtown Roseburg. For over five decades, this event has provided an opportunity for the community to come together for spiritual reflection and contemplation during the season of Lent. Reverend Vicky Brown and pianist Karen Gibbs will lead participants through traditional Good Friday readings and melodies. Attendees can either join in person or tune into the live stream available on the church’s social media platforms.
In its more than 50-year history, the Lenten Meditations in Music series has become a cornerstone of spiritual practice for many residents in Roseburg. As part of the final session, scheduled from 12:15 p.m. to 12:45 p.m., attendees are invited to immerse themselves in a sacred atmosphere. Reverend Vicky Brown will guide listeners with profound reflections, while pianist Karen Gibbs enhances the experience with her emotive musical performances. The sanctuary, located on Southeast Lane Avenue, serves as a tranquil space where individuals can pause amidst their busy lives and focus on personal devotion.
Beyond the physical gathering, technology ensures that those unable to attend in person can still participate fully. The church’s Facebook page and YouTube channel offer live streaming options, allowing a broader audience to engage with this meaningful tradition. This digital extension reflects the church's commitment to inclusivity and accessibility, ensuring that everyone who wishes to partake in these meditative moments can do so regardless of location.
As the series draws to a close, it leaves participants with lasting impressions of peace and introspection. Whether experienced virtually or in-person, the Lenten Meditations in Music provide a powerful reminder of the enduring values of community and spirituality.
