Summer Sing-A-Longs


On Wednesday, July 9, at 6:00 p.m., we'll gather for the first of several Summer Sing-A-Longs. Please bring something to share for a potluck dinner. We'll eat, then sing for awhile. It's a lightweight Christian education/fellowship activity for all who are interested!

This Wednesday, we'll examine the oldest hymns in the 1982 Hymnal, some of which go WA-A-A-Y back to plainchant. We'll study a bit about how to sing these ancient hymns, but mostly we'll just sing them.

Next Wednesday, the 16th, we'll meet again at 6:00 for potluck supper, then I'll do a short presentation on African-American hymnody, and we'll sing some hymns from Lift Every Voice and Sing.

On the 23rd, we'll branch out into hymns being written in the wider church today. We'll talk briefly about new directions for hymnody, but mostly, again, we'll sing.

These gatherings are ideal for bringing a friend, so I hope you will! And if bringing food is a barrier, don't let that stop you. Just come!
