Get ready! To celebrate the songs that feed our souls, kindle our courage, unite us across our differences, express our convictions, our daring hopes and prayers.

We invite you to submit a favourite hymn — a hymn that fills you up with strength, inspiration, comfort, hope, or joy. On June 7, we will celebrate by singing these hymns AND hearing a few words about why these pieces uplift you.

In preparation we’re asking you to:

  1. Identify one or two hymns – from the Voices United or More Voices collections — that you absolutely love.
  2. Fill in the online form, email Jennifer at music@jamesbayunited.com, or complete the form included in the bulletin during the May 14 and 21 Sunday Services and drop it no later than Tuesday, May 26 into the Singing Our Faith drop box in the sanctuary.
  3. Come prepared on June 7 to tell us in 4 or 5 sentences what it is about this hymn that inspires you.

Please note that if we receive more hymns than can be sung in a one hour service, we’ll have to select from among them. Hold on to the ones not chosen and do this again in the future.
