A WORLDWIDE DAY CELEBRATING CONGREGATIONAL SINGING

 page 10


150 years ago, Plymouth Church, led by Henry Ward Beecher, published The Plymouth Collection, a visionary, innovative and ecumenical hymnal. During this 150th anniversary year, Plymouth Church is recognizing the contributions of the past while celebrating the present and future of congregational singing.

The members of Plymouth Church invite churches around the world to sing with them on Sunday, October 16, 2005, to thank God for the gift of congregational song, and to recognize the importance of congregational singing in the worship and life of every church. Please join other churches worldwide by designating one hymn during the worship service to celebrate the gift of song. Music and scripture resources are available upon request at hymnal150@plymouthchurch.org.

Plymouth Church will locate participating churches on a world map. If you know that your church will be singing with Plymouth that day, please let us know.
