This coming Sunday we will be introducing a hymn that’s not new but a hymn that hasn’t been sung in a while called "The Church’s One Foundation."

Samuel Stone wrote this hymn in response to a theological controversy in his time, and also to offer his parishioners a "simple and attractive explanation" of the Apostles' Creed through a series of hymns, this one being based on the article "I believe in . . . the holy catholic church, the communion of saints" and especially picturing the church as the bride of Christ, for whom he had offered his own blood (Eph. 5:25–26).

You can listen to the song in the video below. It’s also in our Digital Hymnal playlist. Please take a few minutes this week to listen and let the words prepare your heart for worship.

Looking for a church to visit tomorrow?

We know walking into a church for the first time, or the first time in a long time, can feel a little intimidating. You don’t need to know what to do. You don’t need to have the right words. You don’t need to come with everything figured out.

Just come.

We’d love to welcome you, open the Bible together, and point you to the hope found in Jesus.
