The Great Hymn Writers of the Church

Each year, Grace Church holds a lecture series in October to remember God's great work in the Reformation, and to survey the people, events and teachings of that period in history and its subsequent influence on the church (see the earlier lectures). The lectures so far have been enthusiastically received.

This year, we turn our attention to the introduction of hymn singing into worship. We will examine the debate over hymn-singing in the church before reviewing the lives and some of the hymns of the great hymn-writers of the past.

• October 3rd - History and theology of music in the church
• October 10th - The life and hymns of Isaac Watts
• October 17th - The life and hymns of Charles Wesley
• October 24th - The life and hymns of John Newton
• October 31st - The life and hymns of Horatius Bonar

All the lectures will take place in our main auditorium begin at 6:00 pm and conclude around 7:15 pm.

We warmly invite you to join us for these lectures!
