Get your new year off to a good start with an hour of singing your favorite hymns and discovering others' favorites. We'll have hymnals from lots of Christian traditions available, and our pianist will support our song. If you have a hymn to suggest that probably isn't in the hymnals, bring some copies to share. Stay for hearty (free!) dinner afterwards, in the Main Dining Room of W11.
