Susan, I wish I could promise to RECORD it all, but I must confess our recording equipment is not great, nor is our stock of recording engineers to run it. In any case a hymn-sing is not meant to be recorded and listened to, but to be participated in. If you need any of the music to recreate it at your end, I'd be happy to send it.

As for tickets, it's free. We do take a freewill offering to support missions of our local ABC Region, the Evergreen Association. At the last one in April, we took in $333, which was split three ways, equally, among Tent Cities (homeless group), Burmese Refugee Resettlement, and Nzunga Mabudiga's eye clinic in Cap Haïtien, Haiti; I matched this with a $111 donation to the Region itself (wouldn't do to go missionizing and forget to pay the electric bill).

I think anybody who has a keyboardist and/or guitarist (or even a decent accordion player ;-) ), a sanctuary, and a dozen or so hymn-lovin' types, can recreate what we do here. The only rules on the PEOPLE'S CHOICE items are 1) it's gotta be in our hymnal (or the requester has to be prepared to accompany it him/herself or lead it a cappella), and 2) we reserve the right to cut it down to 2 stanzas, 3 if you're lucky.

I hope I can come up with a (if not "the") tune to "God's Ford" in time! If anybody has it, please post or send!
