Modern Hymns - Keith & Kristyn Getty

From Keith & Kristyn Getty's email newsletter:

'Where morning dawns and evening fades You call forth songs of joy' (Psalm 65v8)

Music like air connects us. Songs link ear to ear and voice to voice and heart to heart. It is the most thrilling part of our work to hear the layers of sound build and build as people sing together declaring praise to God. This month one of the most memorable moments for us was being part of the team for the Franklin Graham crusade in Charleston, South Carolina. As thousands, including a huge choir, stood to their feet to sing 'In Christ Alone' the sound of singing was immense and mesmerizing.

Last week we attended the True Woman conference. It certainly was an incredible experience for all involved and we considered it a privilege to be involved in such a potentially historic event for the church.

From one continent to another, this week sees the start of our UK 'In Christ Alone Symphonic tour' and we're looking forward to leading people in their singing alongside different choirs and orchestras and would appreciate your prayers for these events. We have been busy collecting together our choral and orchestral arrangements for the tour and have made them available for you this month. Also we are in the finishing stages of the new 'Compassion Hymn' which will be featured as part of the U.K. tour and will be available to you all in our next mailing so you can look out for that!
