The Matthew: Gospel Collection was originally conceived of as a folk-opera: a 75-minute experience of the Gospel of Matthew that could be performed from start to finish in the space of an afternoon/evening concert. On January 18, join us as we get to take it full-circle, from concept to stage, with a full band performance featuring (almost) all of the musicians who contributed to the album recordings.

In the church calendar year, Ordinary Time is the season between Pentecost and Advent. Hosted by The Soil and The Seed Project in the serene natural beauty of the amphitheater at the Brethren & Mennonite Heritage Center (rain location: Harrisonburg Mennonite Church), the free ORDINARY TIME CONCERT SERIES is for KIDS, FAMILIES, and EVERYONE seeking a beautiful place to listen to beautiful music that helps us all recognize God in the ordinary.

The Soil and The Seed Project’s SOIL+SEED FESTIVAL is a weekend-long, intergenerational retreat and gathering for families and everyone to rest, worship, sing, play, connect, and be together, October 23-25, 2026.

A weekend retreat and year-long cohort experience for pastors, lay leaders, and people passionate about cultivating faith in Jesus for young people in their congregational, community, or camp settings.
