New Hymnals!  Session and our Music Director both agree, let's start raising funds to purchase the 2013 Presbyterian Hymnal, Glory to God! This book has 853 songs and hymns, 248 more than our current 1990 hymnal.  It includes favorites from the 1955 red hymnal and has many known tunes with new relevant lyrics.
