Hymn Sing with Kevin Twit of Indelible Grace
Sunday, June 12, 6:00 p.m., Upper Room

|
|
We're excited to announce our next Hymn Sing led by Kevin Twit, founder of Indelible Grace Music and Reformed University Fellowship Campus Pastor at Belmont University in Nashville. Kevin and his son Cooper will lead us in singing and share the rich stories behind the hymns.
Because these time-tested songs are honest about suffering and explicit about the gospel, this Hymn Sing presents a wonderful opportunity to bring friends. Stick around for outdoor fellowship and the dessert food truck afterward.
