Abstract

The article focuses on the significance of December as a month for congregational singing in the U.S. and Canada, highlighting the opportunity for communities to engage in shared song during the Christmas season. It emphasizes the importance of traditional Christian texts from Luke's Gospel, which have shaped worship for centuries, and encourages renewed inspiration through both familiar carols and new expressions of faith. Additionally, it announces the upcoming 2026 Annual Conference of The Hymn Society, themed "Rebirth: Singing Death, Singing Life," which will address contemporary issues related to congregational song. The article also includes information on various educational opportunities and events for members of The Hymn Society. [Extracted from the article]
