The Calvin Institute of Christian Worship is providing support to worshiping communities to host Hymnfests. The purpose of this program is to promote singing the whole story of God and God’s people through vibrant congregational song and participation of all ages through a new resource: Lift Up Your Hearts.
Lift Up Your Hearts outlines the whole redemption history arc in two ways. The first section follows the biblical narrative from creation to new creation, including Christ’s life and the Christian year. The second section follows the order of worship, from God calling us to worship through God blessing and sending us out.
This hymn festival will be held at Claiborne M. Hill Chapel at American Baptist Seminary of the West, Berkeley, CA. Students and faculty from the Pacific School of Religion will be participating in the service as well.
