Testimonials About Rev. John C. Stennfeld’s

“Singing Thru The Scriptures” Hymn Project

"I’ve been a fan of this project since it’s tipping point into reality. Rev. Stennfeld has shown a real loyalty to the Scriptures and selected very singable tunes, making it easy for the preacher to plug these in on a given Sunday.  I have known Rev. Stennfeld for over 40 years, and it’s good to see someone whose theology is sound express his poetry with a current freshness. I look forward to visiting the site and sharing it with my organist."

- Rev. Dr. Daniel Wegrzyn, Senior Pastor at St. John Lutheran Church, Lombard, IL

Pastor John Stennfeld, as both theologian and poet, captures the Scripture readings in his hymns with skill and artistry. "Singing Through the Scriptures" is a valuable resource for every congregation. The hymns based on the appointed readings provide thematic depth and richness for the worshiper’s journey through the church year. I can’t imagine a pastor or music director not wanting to utilize this remarkable resource.

Our church family enjoyed our summer of committing favorite Bible verses to memory. "Singing through the Scriptures" not only helped us memorize God's Word, but rewarded us with opportunities for reflection and conversation. Besides, we had fun! Most of the melodies were familiar and easily sung; we look forward to using the new website. Thank you, Pastor Stennfeld, for supporting our discipleship efforts.

"When I pastored congregations in Michigan and Texas, I wish I had had Pastor Stennfeld's tool, SingingThruTheScriptures.com. I always struggled to find hymns that precisely complemented the portion of the Word I was preaching. This tool solves that problem. Pastor Stennfeld's work is thorough, well done, and a powerful tool for bringing together the Word taught and sung."
