ABOUT SACRED RESONANCE: THE SOUND OF THE SPIRIT 

The Sacred Resonance Sunday Evening Series is not a typical concert series. It is designed to expand Brick Church’s presence as a spiritual home for all.

They open us to the movement of the Holy Spirit: how it speaks, acts, and stirs in our lives, while helping us engage in a broader spirituality.
