Sunday Seminar • Understanding the General Assembly's Action to Gaza
Dr. Peter Makari
November 1st
11:30 am – 12:30 pmThe Presbyterian Church USA's highest governing body is called the General Assembly. The GA is made up of teaching and ruling elders as commissioners from the PCUSA presbyteries throughout the USA. This body meets biannually and discerns the direction of the church, votes on constitutional changes (such as the Book of Order), establishes social witness policies, addresses funding, and guides national and local church life. On June 30, 2026, the GA voted 454 to 15 to recognize Israel's military campaign in Gaza as a genocide. Next week we invite Dr. Peter Makari help us understand the resolution, its context, and its implications for the church’s witness. Dr. Makari serves as the executive for the Middle East and Europe for Global Ministries of the United Church of Christ and Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). He previously served under appointment of the PC(USA) as a mission co-worker in the Middle East and is a ruling elder in the PC(USA).

Organist Jonathan Moyer solos with BlueWater Chamber Orchestra
Saturday, November 7, 2026
7:30 p.m.Every great musical voice emerges through becoming. Elegant refinement gives way to bold originality as this program traces composers finding and redefining their artistic identities. Gabriel Fauré's Masques et bergamasques adroitly revives the grace of the Baroque dance suite, while Howard Hanson's richly textured Concerto for Organ, Harp and Strings reveals a distinctly American lyricism. The evening concludes with Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 1, where the young composer honors the Classical tradition even as he begins to reshape it forever.
Covenant’s world-renowned organist Jonathan Moyer—recognized for performances spanning Renaissance masterpieces to contemporary works—brings both brilliance and color to Hanson's seldom-heard concerto. The American composer Howard Hanson composed his Concerto for Organ, Harp, and Strings in 1941, based upon an earlier version composed in 1926. The single movement work possesses a dramatic range of tonal and harmonic color. The core of the Work’s melodic material comes from an earlier piece he composed entitled North and West, which was inspired by the rugged landscapes of the American Northwest.
Hear Jonathan and the BlueWater Chamber Orchestra in Covenant’s beautiful sanctuary on Saturday, November 7, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. All concerts are “pay-what-you-wish,” all are welcome, and no one is turned away. Order tickets in advance and your tickets will be available for pick-up at the box office in the narthex at The Church of the Covenant on the night of the concert. Tickets are also available at the door.
