Words are projected on a screen. The congregation drones through and they all sound the same. I absolutely long for the old hymns in our hymnals that are never used. Anyone else out there who could sing the soprano, alto, tenor or bass harmony and can read the musical notes in the hymnal? Were the old hymns better?
Some of my favorites are “I’ll Fly Away” “Just As I Am” “Amazing Grace” “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus”

Do you think the type of music (Hymn’s or Praise and worship) is driving a wedge between them and causing churchs to be comprised mostly of older people or younger people.

I attend a Christian church but I am interested in the type of music heard during other types of worship services too.

Kohlmann, put out by the Therodore Presser Co. and recorded it myself in order to produce a CD for my church. Now I want to know if I can sell that CD to nursing homes and Funeral Homes.
Is it legal for me to sell? That is the question. I already have sold many within the church!!

When it comes to the ceremony, he want’s it to be in a Presbyterian church with one of their Pastors. I’m not at all familiar with how they do things.
I used to go to a very modern, contemporary church and am more comfortable with that style than the old pew, hymn, organ style of church.
Honestly, I would rather be married outside. No church service at all!
Can anyone explain the differences to me and possibly offer a solution?

What Should I Do? http://www.hymnlyric.com/i-hate-church-but-i-have-to-go-what-should-i-do/ http://www.hymnlyric.com/i-hate-church-but-i-have-to-go-what-should-i-do/#comments Fri, 05 Feb 2010 17:36:57 +0000 hymn http://www.hymnlyric.com/i-hate-church-but-i-have-to-go-what-should-i-do/ So basically my mom and my grandma attend this little Lutheran church in my town. It’s super traditional and super BORING. I used to consider myself a Christian but recently I’ve been pulling away from it. I don’t /want/ to pull away from this religion but I’m having trouble figuring certain aspects of it out…
In any case, I also go to a Baptist school and attend Chapel every thursday. I don’t mind these chapel services! For one, I’m with my friends. The other thing is that I can really relate to what the speaker is saying. This is one thing that I don’t get out of the church services at my Lutheran Church. Another thing is that I enjoy singing the songs much more so than the old hymns at the Lutheran church. Everything is aimed towards my age group.
These are some of the many reasons that I don’t enjoy the Lutheran church I’m forced to attend and some of the many reasons I enjoy the Chapel services at my school! I just feel that the sermons at the Lutheran church aren’t aimed towards teens and I therefore get absolutely nothing out of it.
I have explained all of this to my Mother and she says she understands but she still wants me to go to Church with her =.=. She usually tries to make me feel guilty by saying that she wants to “share this experience with me”. I also understand her point of view and it does make me feel bad that I don’t want to go. However I cannot escape the torture that my traditional Lutheran church provides. I understand that many of you will say things along the lines of “You should obey your Mother” or “Suck it up” but that is so incredibly hard to do when Church is such extreme torture. (It’s hot, sticky, sweaty, boring and the chairs are uncomfortable on top of everything else)
What do I do?

I’m not against the praise choruses — if people like them, great. But for me I have a *deep* love of old hymns — it actually makes me feel *less* worshipful to sing praise choruses than to sing old hymns that are packed full of God’s truth.
Do I just need to suck it up and go to a church with music that I hate? Or go to a church where I’m totally excited to be praising God by singing hymns but everyone else seems half dead?
Anyone know what I’m talking about? I’m not trying to criticize anyone — truly. But I feel like I have to sacrifice part of myself to go to either ‘kind’ of church!

The people in our choir all know how to sing parts, however, our organist is 93 years old, and has long surpassed her retirement time. It seems none of the younger adults and students want to sing in our choir, because of our director/organist, and our music program is slowly, but surely declining. What can I do to encourage the church elders to go to her and ask her to retire. Is it wrong to do that???? I am an organist myself, and she is so greedy with her position, that she never even lets me play for an occasional hymn. However, our congregation has the financial means to hire a professional organist, and only 2 years ago bought a brand new very nice digital/electric organ, and there is so much that it can do. Is it wrong for us to want this??? many of the other choir members/congregants feel the same way??? Has anyone else experienced a similar situation???

There’s a call comes ringing over the restless wave,
“Send the light! Send the light!”
There are souls to rescue there are souls to save,
Send the light! Send the light!
Send the light, the blessèd Gospel light;
Let it shine from shore to shore!
Send the light, the blessèd Gospel light;
Let it shine forevermore!
We have heard the Macedonian call today,
“Send the light! Send the light!”
And a golden offering at the cross we lay,
Send the light! Send the light!
I first heard it when I played the organ at a protestant church. We never sang it in the Church I went to.
That one phrase always baffled me: what is “the Macedonian call”?
Any ideas?
Serious and smart-alecky answers always welcome….
