Hearing the harmony.
I took some of my old hymnals to our Communion dinner tonight. We split into groups, and we did our best to reinterpret the texts of forgotten hymns into a contemporary frame. The idea was to preserve the message but to recreate its form.
One group did a dramatic reading complete with ancient Greek styled chorus. Another hymn team illustrated their stanzas with colorful pictures. My group riffed some poetry of our own from the lyrics.
The award for capturing the voice of the times went to the group that pulled off a rap about the Lord's Supper. It included some impressive beat boxing as well.
Jesse, Sarah and Ben lay down the beat.
