In many ways, hymns are the oral history of our faith. Like the Psalms in Scripture, they are passed from generation to generation and sung in cathedrals, chapels, or around a family piano. The Faith We Sing, a four-week series beginning this Sunday, will delve into some of those classic hymns and explore their meaning to illuminate the hope they have for us today.
Join us as Pastor Eric begins The Faith We Sing with the message "Amazing Grace."
