MennoMedia seeks input toward projection edition of new hymnal

HARRISONBURG, Va.—In 2020, MennoMedia plans to release a new worship and song collection for Mennonite Church USA and Mennonite Church Canada. This new collection will be available in multiple formats:

  • a bound hymnal designed for pew racks
  • a digital projection edition
  • an app edition

“This is an exciting time for us at MennoMedia. We know how to create bound books but we have never before created a projection edition or an app edition,” said Amy Gingerich, MennoMedia editorial director. “We want to consider the projection needs and preferences of each congregation.”

To create the new projection edition, MennoMedia invites congregations and individuals with AV experience in congregations to fill out a new survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ProjectionEdition.

The short survey asks questions about whether congregations currently project notated music, song texts, both, or neither; whether congregations project worship resources; and what formats they anticipate their congregations will want when the new collection is made available in 2020.

In addition to the multiple formats listed above for the worship and song collection, the full suite of products will also include an accompaniment book and a worship leader edition.
