Re: Do Any of You Still Sing Out Of The Songbook
Our church is only 5 years old so did not have any song books already to have to decide whether to continue to use or not. For that reason we are totally 21st century with the words on mutliple screens whether it is an old hymn or newer praise and worship song.
I have no problem with song books and if I were at an older church where they were still in good shape and plentiful I would still use them along with putting the lyrics on screens.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
