GOD'S TROMBONES
Date & Time: August 23, 2026 at 6:00 PM (Eastern Daylight Time)
Venue: Kimberly Parkway Church of God
Experience the powerful poetic work God’s Trombones, a collection of seven Negro sermons in verse by James Weldon Johnson, published in 1927. This remarkable volume captures the intense, fire-and-brimstone style of traditional black preaching through an “art-governed expression,” without relying on dialectal transcription.
The poems include an introductory prayer, seven verse sermons such as “The Creation,” “The Prodigal Son,” and “The Crucifixion,” all inspired by the oral tradition and biblical poetry of Johnson’s Christian upbringing. Join us for an unforgettable celebration of this literary masterpiece that conveys raw spiritual power and profound cultural heritage.
