The Faith We Sing Hymn Festival
by Dean McIntyre, Director of Music Resources, The United Methodist General Board of Discipleship

This is a hymn festival program for use with The Faith We Sing. It uses the clauses of the Apostles Creed — our central statement of faith and belief — to organize the selections to be sung. You may wish to adapt this service by adding to or replacing the selections given with others from The Faith We Sing. Feel free to adapt it to meet your own needs.

This service is just over thirty minutes in length. Thus, it is adaptable to a regular Sunday morning service; or it may be augmented with prayers, sermon, offering, and so on.
