I’m using an Augsburg Fortress Bible Study here at camp this week. It’s called Sing the Faith, and it looks at hymns of grace, comfort, creation, etc. Favorite old hymns–but some new ones too. We’ve had about 25 people each day, and the favorite part for the group is singing their favorite hymns–and then talking about them and how the hymns have intersected with their lives.
There’s been some interesting and poignant sharing, and some excellent learning coming out of the group. Which makes me glad that we’ve decided to use the same study at Messiah this fall–in and around the other adult forum offerings that have been lined up for you.
I’m also considering having a “hymn-sing” one of the Sundays in August–what do you think of that? We’d let the words of the hymns we sing be the proclamation that day, and we’d use favorite hymns in place of liturgical elements like the kyrie and hymn of praise. I think it would be good fun and meaningful as well!
What is your favorite hymn?
Pastor Tom
