Vino & Vespers gives busy people of faith a place to pray simply (you don’t have to plan a thing!), eat and drink well (you don’t have to bring any food), and talk candidly about faith, church, and real life (you don’t have to prepare any lesson plans or make any handouts!).
Gather with others who love our Church and spend a summer evening with three of God’s best gifts: prayer, food, and conversation. We’ll begin with Evening Prayer followed by an intimate conversation with our guest speaker about faith and daily life as we savor delicious desserts and fine wine.
Our guest speaker for this evening is Bob Hurd.
Bob is a teacher, composer, and workshop presenter who strives to give assemblies clear, strong voices. His work is enriched by his experience as a pastoral musician and liturgist. Bob’s collections reflect the diversity of the Church; his bilingual music encourages the assembly to sing in both English and Spanish. You’ll find many of Bob’s pieces in hymnals throughout the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Australia. He has written articles for Worship, Liturgy, Celebration, Liturgical Ministry, and Today’s Liturgy, and has contributed to two books: That They Might Have Life: Power, Empowerment and Leadership in the Church (Crossroads, 1991) and The New Dictionary of Spirituality (Michael Glazier/Liturgical Press, 1992). His latest work is A Contemplative Rosary: Praying the Mysteries with Scripture, Song and Icons published by Oregon Catholic Press in 2005. Bob has served as a teacher, composer, and liturgist in various pastoral and academic settings, including the Franciscan School of Theology in Berkeley, the Graduate Pastoral Ministries Program at Santa Clara University, and St. Patrick Seminary in Menlo Park.
Vino & Vespers are interactive evenings that feature prominent Catholics talking about how they live their faith through the real events of contemporary life in the Silicon Valley. Young adults over 21 and those very much over-21 are especially invited.
