St George’s Church in Badshot Lea, GU9 9LD has two different hymn books to give away. If you would like a book or two just pop in and collect them – the church is open every day from 10:00am to 4:00pm except for school holidays and Sundays.
The Reverend Lesley Crawley said, “At St George’s we realised that it was time to buy some new hymn books. We were using two different hymns books and some hymns were in one, some in another and other more modern hymns that we sing were in neither! We used to have extra hymns on bits of paper but it was becoming very frustrating. We can’t sell the hymn books because they are out of date, but if anyone would like one they are free to a good home!”
She continued, “You may remember we did this at St John’s, Hale, last year and we gave away 300 hymn books in the end – it was lovely because people left messages thanking us and it was great to think that the books will continue to be used and loved by members of the community.”
Could you please. Send me some hymn books if you’ve still got any please
Hi Amanda I’m sorry but they’ve all gone.
These may still be available (I’ve copied it from anotehr news bulletin in the Diocese of Winchester):
St Mary’s, Old Alresford, has a selection of church choral music and hymn books which are no longer needed. These include anthems, carols and copies of Hymns Ancient and Modern and Songs of Fellowship. Interested? Contact gailstraker@btinternet.com
If you have any hymn Books left, I am looking for hymn books for myself and for family.
Hi. So sorry, I didn’t see this. If I find any more I will let you know. Best wishes, Stella Wiseman
