Join the Rev.(s) Tom and Linda McDermott as they continue the conversation series, "Disruption: Parables & Pandemics" in which they explore ho the Parables of Jesus can open us up, rather than just confirm things we already know.

Pastors Lance Marshall and Zhenya Gurina discuss Episode Five of The Chosen.

In this May 21 edition of Hymn-a-Day May with Peggy Graff and Friends, FUMCFW Director of AV Services Austin Patton singe the familiar favorite, "Amazing Grace," published in 1779, with words written in 1772 by the English poet and Anglican clergyman John Newton (1725–1807).

Newton wrote the words from personal experience. With the message that forgiveness and redemption are possible regardless of sins committed and that the soul can be delivered from despair through the mercy of God, "Amazing Grace" is one of the most recognizable songs in the English-speaking world. Author Gilbert Chase writes that it is "without a doubt the most famous of all the folk hymns." Estimated to be performed about 10 million times annually, Amazing Grace's particular influence in folk music has inspired its recording thousands of times during and since the 20th century.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now am found

Was blind but now I see

Was Grace that taught my heart to fear

And Grace, my fears relieved

How precious did that Grace appear

The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares

We have already come

T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far

And Grace will lead us home

And Grace will lead us home

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost but now am found

Was blind but now I see

Was blind, but now I see
