Hymn for First Presbyterian Church of Youngstown, New York
I am delighted to announce that I recently completed a hymn for the First Presbyterian Church of Youngstown New York. The church is celebrating its 200th anniversary this year. Here is how the writing of the hymn happened:
I first talked about it with the church's minister, the Rev Robert (Bob) Hagel. Thereafter, I worked in conjunction with Paige Hardison, who is the church's Director of Music, Chancel Choir, and Bells. Paige consulted with their church organist and I began work on their hymn, set to a familiar tune. When it was ready, I sent it to Paige. The hymn title being: “We Know Some Names” which was approved in mid November 2023.
