A Celebration of Faith

Through the hymnody of Charles Wesley

Arranged by Joseph Martin

Come celebrate our Methodist Heritage through the lyrics and music of one of our founding fathers, Charles Wesley. Wesley’s messages of Worship, Love, Thanksgiving, Service, Life and Grace are foundational to our Christian journey. We pray that the beloved words of Wesley’s hymns and the truth they proclaim resonate in our church and in our lives once again as they are raised as a "Testament of Praise"

Presented in worship:

at Fuquay Varina United Methodist Church on Sunday, April 13 at 10:50am

at First United Methodist Church on Sunday, April 27 at 11am
