November’s Songs of Praise and Thanks Series.
The hymn “Just as I Am” was written by Charlotte Elliott in 1835. It was first published in the Christian Remembrancer in 1835. The music was later composed by William B. Bradbury in 1849. The hymn was inspired by a conversation Elliott had with a minister who told her to “Just come to him as you are”. For those of you who remember the Billy Graham crusades, this song was always sung at the end as people came down to the staging area in response to the gospel message.

November’s Songs of Thanks and Praise Series. “Bringing in the Sheaves” was written in 1874 by Knowles Shaw, who was a singer, evangelist, and farmer. The hymn’s lyrics are based on Psalm 126:5,6- “Those who sow in tears shall harvest with joyful shouting. One who goes here and there weeping, carrying his bag of seed, Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.” I chose an image in the manner of the famous painting The Gleaners by Jean-Francois Millet.
