You are invited to join Immanuel Baptist Church Sunday morning, November 22nd at 10:30am for the Te Deum in worship with choir and orchestra. Written by Dan Forrest, the Te Deum is a 20-minute, three-movement setting of the traditional Te Deum prayer, which is one of the most ancient Christian prayers still in continuous use today. Modern scholarship attributes the prayer to Nicetas, Bishop of Remesiana, who wrote it sometime between the late 4th and early 5th centuries. The lengthy hymn is in three distinct parts, beginning with trinitarian praise, moving through a central section focussing on Christ’s incarnation, and concluding with prayers for intercession.
