Summer Hymn Sing

Sacred Music at the Red Door and the Parish Life Committee are organizing a summer hymn sing , from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m., with pot-luck dinner and dessert on the church grounds. To cast a vote for your favorite hymn(s), please send an email of up to five suggestions to music@sjparish.net, to be added to the book being assembled to sing outdoors. Someone has already suggested that perennial summer-season favorite, “Drop-kick me, Jesus, through the goal posts of life.” It really exists and you have to sing it to believe it! Mark your calendars and invite a friend to the fun.
