“Plenty Good Room: A Lenten Bible Study based on African American Spirituals” is a 6-part series of reflections on scripture and the music that first arose on plantations in the antebellum South. Each 45-minute session will study a spiritual in the light of the Gospel, history, tradition, and experience. A concurrent children’s musical program will accompany the series.

This unique short-term Bible study combines an in-depth look at Scripture, American history, and the music and lyrics of six African American spirituals. The six-session study provides biblical, social, and historical analyses of the spirituals: “Ev’ry Time I Feel the Spirit,” “This Lonesome Valley,” “Bow Down on Your Knees,” “Plenty Good Room,” “Ain’t Dat Good News,” and “Were You There?”

“Plenty Good Room” is offered as part of our Year of Renewal 2017.
