Welcome to our Sunday service which includes some words of Jesus which we might find rather challenging or uncomfortable!

Our first hymn is the well-known hymn “Praise, my soul, the King of heaven” in three versions:

A traditional cathedral version with organ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3dHeRB2c3g

A rousing (but rather abridged) orchestral version from Belfast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n_BPn5BxH4

A modern upbeat setting (usual tune) from a Baptist church in Toronto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA_D9ypWONQ

I wanted to close with the hymn “Jesus Christ is waiting” but couldn’t find a suitable version. So we have “Will you come and follow me?” instead.
