Early in December of each year, Graham Memorial Presbyterian Church worshippers at the 9:00am traditional service have an opportunity to vote for their favorite hymns, printed in the church hymnals at each bench in the sanctuary. The church office tallies the votes, and then the pastor decides which of the highest-rated hymns to include in the worship schedule for Annual Hymn Sunday, the last Sunday of December.
Because we devote this service to musical worship, the pastor does not deliver a sermon. However, all other elements of the traditional worship service remain.
