Stuart Townend at The Citadel

Event Description

An evening exploring the significance of COURAGE in the all trials of life, but also an evening of fun, singing familiar songs, and learning some new ones.


"Recent events & situations (including the death of my brother) have had a big impact on me personally, and on my writing. And the word that has kept coming back to me is COURAGE: courage to face my own pain, to share my pain, and to sit with the pain of others."

The format is a mixture of chat, congregational worship and performance, and Stuart will also be talking about some of the songs and how they came to be written. Some songs will be familiar, some will be new.

The event is approximately 2 hours long, and includes a break of about 20 minutes for refreshments. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal, worshipful and participative.
