Singspiration...

[David Flick]

Watonga Indian Baptist Church is 15 members of the OIABA (Oklahoma American Indian Baptist Association). The association holds a monthly singspiration. WIBC hosted the May hymn singing fest. Mark & DaveR will be interested to know that we invited out associational friends to sing from our new hymnals which came from Alabama & Virginia. of that event...

David, I'd be very interested in knowing what songs were sung. I only know "Singspiration" as a music publisher, not an event. And since I'm planning a hymnsing (probably to be 3 times a year) for Evergreen and our neighbors, to commence this coming October, I'm particularly interested in how various churches and associations do their hymnsings.

Nice pictures, and I'm particularly heartened to see that there's food

I believe David's church now has Baptist Hymnal '91... incidentally, Ed, what hymnal(s) do(es) Trudy's parish(es) use currently? Since ABC hasn't had a denominational hymnal in many years (as far as I know, the last such was the Hymnbook for Christian Worship in the mid-1960s, and I don't think it ever became very popular at least in this part of the country) diversity in this area is definitely the rule. In the thirty-some churches of the Evergreen Association there are at least 10 different hymnals currently in use in the pews.

The Singspiration approach sounds like fun.
