Fanny J. Crosby, the “Queen of Gospel Song Writers,” will be featured at Tennison Methodist Church, 313 N. Church, in Mt Pleasant, Sunday (Oct 13) at 10:45 am. It is free and open to the public.
Dr. Shellie O’Neal’s one-woman play portrays the famous American hymn writer Fanny J. Crosby who wrote the lyrics to favorites like “Blessed Assurance,” “To God Be the Glory,” “Close to Thee” and “I Am Thine, O Lord.” Be inspired by the music and the dramatic story of a blind girl in the 1800’s who wrote over 8,000 hymns in her lifetime. They printed more than 100 million copies, and they are still sung in churches all over America today
