The Wesley Hymn Sing at Timothy Eaton Memorial Church in Toronto (April 25, 2010), held in conjunction with the Wesley Ministry Conference today at Tyndale Seminary. Bishop Keith Elford participated in the service by introducing the background to Charles Wesley’s hymn “O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing.” In addition to wonderful congregational singing, the attendants also enjoyed the music of the Salvation Army brass band and an address by Dr. Timothy Tennent entitled “The Risen Lord and the Worldwide Mission of the Church.” | Wesley Hymn sing images
