Get ready! To celebrate the songs that feed our souls, kindle our courage, unite us across our differences, express our convictions, our daring hopes, and our prayers.

We invite you to submit hymns that inspire you to be the light in a world that often feels dark and unjust. On February 23rd, we will celebrate by singing AND hearing a few words about why these pieces uplift you to be a voice of love during challenging times. 

How You Can Participate:

  1. Identify Your Hymns: Choose one or two hymns – from the Voices United or More Voices collections—that inspire you to be the light.  

  2. Submit Your Choices: 

    Drop off the hymn title and your contact info no later than Monday, February 10. Use the Singing Our Faith drop box in the sanctuary, or email Jennifer at music@jamesbayunited.com and please let us know the following: - Your Name

    - Your Email

    - Your hymn choice (# and Title)

    - Which verses to include if we can on if we can’t sing all verses.

  3. Prepare to Share: Come prepared on February 23rd to tell us in 4 or 5 sentences what it is about this hymn that inspires you to be the light in a world that often feels dark and challenging.

    *Even if you have submitted a favourite hymn in the past, we invite you to submit a new hymn that resonates for you with the theme.

Please note: If we receive more hymn submissions than can be accommodated in our one-hour service, we’ll select from among them and hold on to the others for future services.

The hymn entry form is below – fill it in and hit submit! We look forward to celebrating the hymns that uplift us and hearing your personal reflections on why they are meaningful to you!
