This is an old revision of the document!


Intention and Design

There are thirteen classes. Intentions for the series:

  • Fill thirteen weeks
  • Hold singing in the space and time where choir practice would be
  • Maybe increase participation in choir when it starts back up

Intentions for every week:

  • Sing and discuss at least one hymn

The first will be introductory and maybe we just do one hymn in order to make extra time to explain the intention and design of the series.

Calendar

By when do I need to have hymns picked? Figure it takes three weeks for me to learn a hymn, and I can probably only learn two at a time.

June 7

  • Old Testament Reading: Genesis 12:1-9
  • Gospel Reading: Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26
  • Epistle Reading: Romans 4:13-25

Points I want to get to:

  • John and Charles Wesley's most enduring writings are in the hymns
  • The first page of the hymnal–the instructions on singing
First Hymn

O For A Thousand Tongues to Sing

  • If you had a thousand tongues, what song would you sing?
  • What is Charles Wesley singing about?
