Hymnals!

Thanks to the hard work of Roxanne Mahler, Cheri Stibrany, and Liz Holman, the green hymnals have been transferred downstairs and laid in alphabetical order on the tables.  They stacked the new red hymnals just in front of the chancel.  Here are some photos of their work...

The stack from the front...




Ain't no finer stack I'm a-thinkin'
You c'n keep your rig if you're thinkin' 'at I'd keer to swap
Fer that shiny, stack o' books... with the missal on the top!



Lillian says I'll never be a lyricist...well, there's no competing with Rodgers and Hammerstein.. unless it's something like this, from hymn 504:

"God's Word forever shall abide;
No thanks to foes who fear it;
for God himself fights by our side;
with weapons of the Spirit;
Were they to take our house;
Goods, honor, child, or spouse;
Though life be wrenched away;
They cannot win the day.
The Kingdom's ours forever!"
