Almost two dozen people turned out to St. Mark’s parking lot for the church’s first Outdoor Hymn Sing, organized by John Lasher, director of music and worship arts. Most sat in camp-style chairs. Some sat on a nearby curb or in their car. John set up his keyboard just outside the main entrance and placed several large speakers nearby. He had prepared a booklet with 16 hymns, most of which were requested in advance by the congregation. It took almost an hour to sing through all of them, but the time flew by. It was good medicine to worship together, to see each other and to sing the songs we love so much. Read more and hear a sample from the day!
