Hymn Festival

4 PM SUNDAY, MARCH 17 IN THE SANCTUARY, IN PERSON ONLY • FREE WILL OFFERING

Whether you enjoy singing hymns or listening to hymns as a way to pray and hear scripture, this concert is for you! Linda Tedford, Artistic Director, Founder and Conductor of the renowned Susquehanna Chorale, will direct a program in celebration of Derry’s 300th anniversary year as we sing about God being our rock and guide through the centuries. Hymns include “How Firm a Foundation,” “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God,” John Calvin’s “I Greet Thee Who My Sure Redeemer Art,” “Praise Ye The Lord, The Almighty,” and more.

Our augmented Sanctuary Choir will sing some hymns, and the congregation will join in singing five hymns. The Derry Ringers will play, along with brass, percussion, strings, flute and clarinet, piano and organ. In between selections, you’ll hear more about Derry’s history that originated in Scotland and Northern Ireland. What better way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day than by singing glorious hymns with your church family, friends and neighbors!
