Re: Do Any of You Still Sing Out Of The Songbook
I think it is time to rewrite all the songs that were written by the Trinitarians.
Just as I am sick and tired of having to use Trinitarian bibles, commentaries and books.
I think over half of the songs in our song books come from the Trinitarians.
why should we continue to sing Trinitarian created songs?
Better yet, why not simply dump all the Trinitarians songs
we just keep on following the Trinitarian's lead, they are the head and we are the tail and I am for one sick of that.

Re: Do Any of You Still Sing Out Of The Songbook
I love to sing the old song out of the book especially when you can have three part harmony. And the songs like "He Wrote My Name" with the two parts going. I just love them.

I still have my old Sing Unto the Lord songbook, although it is a bit dusty.

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.

Re: Do Any of You Still Sing Out Of The Songbook
I didn't think anyone used books anymore. Good to know there are still some. It would be nice to find a church where people actually sang, instead of watching the praise team perform. Of course the volume is so loud in most places you can't even hear yourself. My parents occasionally go to a Baptist church just to sing some old songs. I'm not opposed to the screen method which has been in use for over 30 years but put the whole song up there, not just one verse. With either screen or books it would be nice to actually hear singing again.

I guess when I say sing out of the book I mean sing the old hymns.
It doesn't matter to me weather they are in a book or on a screen, though the songs with two parts might be hard to put on a screen.

Oh! Our church has a very young demographic but we do still sing old hymn. For a long time you could pretty much count on one of the four praise and worship songs being an old hymn but it is more sporadic now. What is cool is that the response to the old hymns is great from our younger crowd. Of course we only sing the really good old hymns so that helps!

Oh, I have nothing against a screen, especially in large buildings, as it is hard to accommodate everyone. But there is a special kind of reverence that comes from singing old hymns out of an old hymn book. I guess it just seems to mean more to us, and perhaps that is just tradition too. But having the words to the newer songs on the screen does help when the words to the song that are being sung are hard to understand.
