Hymnal in worship. The main features of the Hymnal are:

early centuries of the church
The inclusion of new hymns which have been produced over the past few
decades as well as those used in the ecumenical church
A broadening of the cultural diversity which is representative of the
church
An update of the language used in the hymns
The restoration of psalms for worship which can be sung
A conscious effort to include more hymns by women
A focus on the traditional orders of worship
The integration of the ecumenical three-year common lectionary cycle
The expansion of hymns for celebration of liturgical seasons
This worship service celebrates the commonalities between the Christian
religion and Native American traditions and religions. The aim is to
celebrate the many faces of God.
"How God Sees Us" uses Native American hymns,
