Greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ from the URC Psalter Hymnal Committee.
We have completed uploading all the musical scores of the entire hymn collection on our website www.psalterhymnal.org . The purpose for our doing so is to give you, and all interested parties, an opportunity to view, evaluate and comment on the collection. A link is provided on the website to make such comments. We will receive your comments until December 31, 2015, after which we will evaluate what we have received with the OPC committee, make appropriate changes to the collection, and then bring the finished proposal to our respective Synod and General Assembly in 2016. Please feel free to pass this information on to all interested persons in your congregation. May the Lord bless your labors as you serve Him faithfully, and may your congregation join with us in singing praise to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who lives and reigns forever!
For the URCNA Psalter Hymnal Committee, Rev. Derrick J. Vander Meulen Chairman
