Sunday, September 14th during 11 am worship

On the first two Sundays of June this past summer the congregation was invited to vote for its favorite hymns. The response was overwhelming with almost 150 votes in just those two services! One thing is for sure--the Old South congregation loves its hymns. As an acknowledgment of this, we will celebrate by singing many of them at the 11 am service on
Sunday, September 14.

Understandably many hymns received more than one vote.
The results are in:

1^st place: Amazing Grace was the all-time winner (9 votes)

2^nd place: A Mighty Fortress Is Our God (6 votes)

3^rd place (tie): Be Thou My Vision—Here I Am, Lord—In the Garden—Joyful, Joyful,

We Adore Thee (5 votes)

4^th place (tie): Holy, Holy, Holy—Morning Has Broken (4 votes)
