H

The ProcessCreating Celebrating Grace Hymnal

began as a grassroots approach to developing and designing a hymnal. The goal was to be open to new ideas for meeting the resource needs of churches today. The team of editors brought together creative minds and listened to what was needed. A distinguished team of ministers of music, pastors, church music scholars, and laity was assembled and has participated in every aspect of the project. The result is an outstanding collection of hymns and worship resources.

hyMns

Each hymn was reviewed for its musical contribution, theological soundness, and poetic expression. The editors set high standards for the music, texts, support materials, and production to match their commitment to vibrant congregational singing. The selection process began with the editors listening to the needs of hundreds of churches across the nation. Ministers of music and pastors developed the initial core collection for consideration. A second invitation went to churches, composers, and musicians to seek new materials. The response was thousands of submissions. After countless hours of careful review and thoughtful discussion, the editors, with the contributions of the committee members, selected more than 600 hymns.

sCriptural readings

Responsive readings and litanies were prepared by pastors, church music ministers, and theological scholars who share a deep love for scripture and for the actions of congregations as they speak and contemplate together in worship.

online resourCes
