Calling All Poets!

As part of its goal of encouraging the creative and performing arts in our community, First Presbyterian Church of Meadville is holding a hymn text competition. We are seeking texts of 3-6 stanzas in length with themes exploring the role of faith in the modern world. There is no entry fee, but only one entry per individual will be accepted.

Each submission will be assessed by a panel of judges for its originality, creative use of language, theological insight, and appropriateness for congregational use. The judges will award first, second, and third prizes. The winning entry will be set to an original tune and introduced to the congregation of First Presbyterian Church in the fall of 2009.

To submit an entry for this contest, contact Kevin Dill, Director of Music, by e-mail at kevindill@meadvillefpc.org or by phoning 333-2161. The deadline for entries is May 15th, 2009.
