New Hymnal Project

Survey Says… Results!

Thank you to all who participated in the church’s online survey of our hymnody.

The survey closed on December 31, 2008, and approximately 800 people participated!

Throughout the four hymnals (Hymns of the Saints, Sing for Peace, Sing a New Song, and By Request) 618 hymns were posted for review. The hymn that received the most “yes” votes heads the list. Participants were asked to check whether a hymn should move forward if, in their opinion, it expressed the identity, message, mission and beliefs of the church.

Thank you for your thoughtful consideration and input as we continue to work with this material!
