FRIENDS!

The first Christmastide videos of the Presbytery of Plains and Peaks’ Public Domain Hymn project are available!

While many of our congregations across the USA have been without regular musicians for years, it was during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic that this became more widely problematic. To ease this burden, the Presbytery of Plains and Peaks has embarked on a project to bring all of the Public Domain hymns in our denominational hymnal, Glory to God, to our congregations for a small donation.

We’ve started with the hymns for Christmas and will move on to the other pubic domain hymns in the new year. Working with a church musician, hymns were recorded in MIDI format and then imported into editing software so that lyrics and backgrounds could be provided. Each hymn is available with white lyrics on a black background, or with white lyrics on a colored background.

We are asking for a nominal donation of $3 per hymn (whether black & white or with a colored background) to help offset the cost of producing the videos.

Full information is available via our website, and you can find it here.
