Making Music

Congregation Singing

Ward members have a great opportunity each week to add to the spirit and reverence of Sacrament meeting by singing the hymns.

“Some of the greatest sermons are preached by the singing [or presentation of] hymns.  So it is not only in the spoken word that we worship our Lord but through the participation in singing the hymns and of course in partaking of the Sacrament.” (First Presidency Preface to Hymns)
