Learn the Psalms Format 2013

Learn the Psalms Format 2013 This year we will follow the same basic calendar of hymns as we have in previous years. This is the second year of the learn the psalms format. Last year we sang our favorite 26 psalms (list A ) four times throughout the year. This year we will sing those 26 psalms once, and add to them 26 new psalms (list B ), which we will sing three times, once in the morning and twice in the evening. Otherwise, the same principles are in play: 1. The opening hymn or Psalm should be a great, majestic song of praise 2. The most outstanding and beloved hymns of the church should be sung twice a year, once in the morning and once in the evening. 3. Some attention should be paid to seasonal themes including the high points of the liturgical calendar (the five evangelical feast days ). 4. Communion is administered once a month, quarterly in the morning (January, May, August, October), and in the evening the other eight months of the year. 5. A check list is provided for the most usable and recommended hymns. Checks indicate hymns already provided for in the calendar. A similar approach will be followed in 2014, until a total of 76 Psalms are familiar and beloved by our congregations. Continue the discipline of singing the Psalms from the Trinity Psalter in 2013-2014! Those who would rather sing and read through the entire Psalter in 2013-14 may follow the calendars provided in 2003 and 2004. Those who would rather sing just 26 different psalms again may use the 2012 calendar; those wishing to sing 78 psalms may use the 2008 calendar. You may access previous years on our website, www.ipcsav.org, under Our Worship, Worship Aids for Ministers, or request a copy by e-mailing Debbie Parker at dparker@ipcsav.org. Note: Hymn numbers are from the Trinity Hymnal (1990), Psalm selections from the Trinity Psalter (1994). LIW = Leading in Worship
