Hymns tell the old, old story. Hear it every week at Bunker Hill Presbyterian Church.

There appears to be a growing number of churches working to recover the practice—never entirely lost, but not as popular as it used to be—of singing from books.

Hymnals offer perceived permanence and stability in a musical landscape that changes quickly and often. The decision to reintroduce congregations to hymnals is often an ideological one, especially for churches that made the transition away from them in recent decades.

But a notable number of churches are making that choice, choosing the printed page over lyrics projected onto a screen.

Dan Kreider, a composer, arranger, and music minister who designed the Sing! Hymnal said hymnals aren’t going to replace projection or any of the tech tools that undergird contemporary worship music. But they offer something valuable and different.

“If you’re in a church that just goes with the most popular songs, where is your sense of permanence? Think of the kids growing up in your church. Where is their sense of permanence? What songs are they going to remember and sing as they age? The hymnal slows us down,” Kreider said.

Bloom where you’re planted. Marigolds, which do not taste good to church deer, thrive in front flower bed.

Looking over this list of WT mayors, I see Augustus Theis (1915) who built the old church where we worship each year to celebrate the June 14, 1869 founding of our church. Also, T. Russell McClure was an elder in our church and the Chews had a connection to our church. I had a talk with Joan Michael to confirm.

🇺🇸🇺🇸🎆As our nation celebrates America's 250th anniversary, we are proud to recognize the men and women who have served as Mayor of the Township of Washington since 1837. Their leadership, commitment, and service have played a vital role in shaping the vibrant community we know today.

We extend our sincere thanks to Bob Timmons for his invaluable assistance in researching and compiling this list of Washington Township Mayors.

As we mark this historic milestone, we also honor and celebrate the legacy of local leadership whose dedication has strengthened our township for generations.🇺🇸🇺🇸🎆
