Church: The Musical
October 19: Amazing Grace
Luke 15:11-32
Does God really have enough grace to cover everything that is wrong with me? We’ll hear the story behind the writing of one of the best known songs in human history, and learn whether God’s amazing grace can even save a wretch like me.
October 26: How Great Thou Art
Psalm 8:1-9
How do songs like How Great Thou Art go from notes on a page to a spiritual experience that moves our souls? Follow the journey of this a moderately popular hymn that bounced around Eastern Europe for a few years before someone heard it while visiting Ukraine, introduced it to the right people, and turned it into an experience that regularly brings groups from church sanctuaries to huge stadiums into the presence of God.
November 2: When the Saints Go Marching In
Ephesians 3:1-21
We will explore Paul’s letter to the Ephesians on All Saints Sunday with a little New Orleans flair as our Louisiana native worship director, Jason Langdon, pulls together the gifts of our many talented musicians to show a couple different sides of When the Saints Go Marching In, which, somehow, did not make it into the United Methodist Hymnal. We’ll try and make up for the oversight on November 2nd!
