Stuart Townend and band - The Courage Tour

25 September 2018 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
St. Thomas’ Church, Warrington Rd, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Wigan WN4 9PL, UK

Stuart Townend is one of today’s leading worship songwriters. Hymns such as “In Christ alone”, “How deep the Father’s love” and “The power of the cross” are sung in churches around the world, while the skill and depth of his lyric writing has drawn some to compare his contribution to hymnody to that of Watts and Wesley.

Aside from writing, Stuart travels around the UK and abroad, leading worship at events and performing concerts on his own or with his band. An accomplished musician, arranger and producer, Stuart has featured on numerous live albums, and to date has recorded nine solo albums, the most recent of which is “The paths of grace”.

Stuart’s most recent project was a video and audio recording of the song “Keep you here”, an honest and moving response to his brother’s recent journey with cancer.

This event will be an opportunity to share in an evening of worship in song and a time of reflection on the blessings of God in every season of life
