From Jack Charles, Organist and Director of Music Ministry NEW HYMNS Our new hymn book, "Evangelical Lutheran Worship" contains most of the beloved hymns and liturgies from past hymn books. It also contains many new hymns and liturgical settings. If you can't find your favorites from the old books please request them and they will be sung as soon as they are appropriate to the Bible lessons of the day. We try to have only one new hymn on a given Sunday. But occasionally there may be more than one that you do not know. If that happens, simply follow the hymn in the book. By the last stanza you may find yourself humming along or even singing along. Many times over the years people have told me that they didn't think they liked a new hymn at first but that after it was used a few times it became one of their favorites. Thursday Rehearsals: Bell Choir at 6:15 PM and Chancel Choir 7:00 PM. Any questions? Contact Jack Charles, Director of Music Ministry at 610-287-9366
