But if music is crafted and produced well it has the power to touch anyone and I would hope that beyond Church worship these new hymns would also reach out to secular listeners too. . .
However, if I had to choose only one hope I would have for this album it would be that it would bring new hymns that will really last to the Church.
My primary aim was to write great hymns for the Church focused on God. And as an Irish composer and with working in Irish music a lot, I suppose all my music is destined to have an Irish feel to it. . . Rock and worship, and rock and Celtic sounds have always combined well, but this mingling of worship and Celtic has a unique warm sound to it that I feel adds to the lyrics. In an interview following the release of that project, he explained some aspects of his original intent and his process:įor this latest album I used a combination of old hymns and portions of Scripture and reworked them to create modern hymns for the modern Church. Getty was preparing an album of new songs, which was eventually released through Kingsway as New Irish Hymns (2001). We hope that whoever you are, you will feel at home at our church.“In Christ alone” was the first song written collaboratively between Keith Getty and Stuart Townend, begun in 2000 and finished in 2001.

The kids group activities vary depending on the age but usually there is a friendly welcome, bible stories, testimonies, praying, music, craft, drama, fun games and free play. Please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes. Whilst you are dropping your kids off at their groups, we pause to take time to chat to someone sitting near or next to us, giving folk a chance to come back before the sermon begins. You will need to go with your children to their groups and register them as part of our child safety policy. At the end of the notices someone will announce that it’s time for the younger members to go to their various groups. We really value worshipping God all together as a family.
