Regularly introduce new songs into our worship by working with both the congregation and the song leaders.  Each session will focus on reviewing one song previously learned and then learning 1 to 2 new songs each practice. The projection system and the paperless hymnal will be utilized as much as possible.

 

In order to ensure that our congregational singing is current with the latest songs, an auxiliary song book is used to augment our normal hymn book.  Our Auxiliary song book is made so that we can expand it as new songs are introduced.

 

Open Position

Establish a core group of people that like to sing. This group is not to be thought of as a choir or a praise group.  This group will be open to any of our members and will focus on the following:

• Learning new songs
• Music Theory
• Helping the congregation learn new songs during the Sunday night courses.  These people will be seated along with the congregation.
• Sing at special events (Weddings, Funerals, etc.)

This group is currently not active.  If you would be interested in helping with this function, please talk with one of the elders.

 

11 Years ago Ed Lumley of the 36th Street Church of Christ started what has become known as Friday Night Sings.  Every Friday from March to November a church in South Eastern Ohio and West Virginia sponsor a congregational sing at their building.  In 2004, Lancaster was added to the schedule.  During the sing, song leaders from all over the area are encouraged to lead a song.  The singing session usually goes from 7:00 to 9:00 with a time for finger foods and fellowship to follow. 

Lancaster's sing is the last sing of the season and is held the Friday before Thanksgiving.
