Learn the Psalms Format 2014

1 Learn the Psalms Format 2014 This year we will follow the same basic calendar of hymns as we have in previous years.the 52 Psalms learned in 2012 and 2013will be sung this year once in the morning. They will be joined by 26 Psalms which are being added in 2014 (List C at the end of this calendar), which will be sung twice on Sunday evenings. In other words, the last two year s Psalms will continue to be sung once while we learn the new Psalms by singing them two times over the course of the year. We will follow the same basic calendar of hymns as we have in previous years. Otherwise, the same principles are in play: 1. The opening hymn or Psalm should be a great, majestic song of praise 2. The most outstanding and beloved hymns of the church should be sung twice a year, once in the morning and once in the evening. 3. Some attention should be paid to seasonal themes including the high points of the liturgical calendar (the five evangelical feast days ). 4. Communion is administered once a month, quarterly in the morning (January, May, August, October), and in the evening the other eight months of the year adapting for Easter week. 5. A check list is provided for the most usable and recommended hymns. Checks indicate hymns already provided for in the calendar. A similar approach will be followed in 2015, until a total of 76 Psalms are familiar and beloved by our congregations. Continue the discipline of singing the Psalms from the Trinity Psalter in ! Note: Hymn numbers are from the Trinity Hymnal (1990), Psalm selections from the Trinity Psalter (1994). LIW = Leading in Worship; LIWR = Leading in Worship Revised
