Bring the kids, invite your friends and neighbors and enjoy an old-fashioned hymn sing held at Lakeside United Methodist Church on Sunday, October 30, beginning at 6 p.m.
The evening will feature sing-alongs of great songs of faith with special music by community singers sprinkled in and a dessert social immediately following the music portion of the evening.
Audience members will be asked to call out the page numbers of their favorite hymns for the whole group to sing together, just as was done many years ago. We’ll be using both Lakeside’s hymnal and one provided by New Hope Baptist Church.
Joanna Fritz will be featured on piano, Lynnette Engelholm, Don Jones, David Grosshans, and Tex & Mary Schutz will make up the back-up band, with Betsy Metcalf and Tex Schutz doing specials.
“We hope you’ll join us as we work to keep congregational hymn singing alive and thriving for future generations,” said coordinator Mary Schutz. “There’s nothing quite like the wonderful spirit of the old hymns and the joy we feel as we sing the songs that we’ve known since our childhood!”
