Sunday evening Worship @the Well | 6:15pm 

It's Gospel Night @the Well! The River Rock Band will play a rousing night of music to celebrate the resurrection, including the spiritual Ain't No Grave.  

SPOTLIGHT 

Salamone Rossi - A Hebrew Musician in the court of Mantua. This concert will feature the many musical aspects of this remarkable Jewish composer, from madrigals to instrumental music, as well as music for the synagogue.  

A talented string player, Rossi was hired in 1587 to work at the court of Mantua under the direction of Claudio Monteverdi. Rossi was one of the first self-acclaimed published Hebrew composers, as well as one of the first composers to write trio sonatas. Musicologist Dr. Teresa Neff will present commentary on Rossi and the extraordinary circumstances surrounding his life in 16th and 17th century Mantua, Italy.   

SMALL GROUPS AND FELLOWSHIP 

With Hancock's  Dr. Stan Goldin (Cognitive Rhythms Collaborative, Harvard Medical School). What is modern neuroscience telling us about the evolution of the human brain-are we really just smarter apes? Bestselling atheist authors claim that neuroscience & evolutionary biology have"proven" that the spiritual underpinnings of religious faith are delusions created within the brain. But they're wrong: Cutting edge neuroscience is now exploring questions previously owned by philosophy & theology, and is telling a very different story-join us for some faith-reinforcing, mind-expanding good news & spirited discussion!  

Want to get a chance to meet some people and learn more about Hancock Church?

The dinner is between 4:45-6:00 at Christine McEwan's house at 1436 Mass Ave in Lexington.
