First Presbyterian Church of Meadville is pleased to announce the winners of its 2009 hymn text competition. A total of 29 texts were submitted, coming from as far away as New York and Texas. The panel of judges assessed each entry for its creativity, theological insight, and suitability for congregational use.
The judges awarded first prize to Jeanette Reynolds of Erie for her poem “At The Table”. Over the summer this text will be set to music by Kevin Dill, FPC's Director of Music, and introduced to the congregation. The judges also awarded second prize to Ruth Prest of Meadville for her poem “God of Peace”, and third prize to Jeannette Bauer Rynd of Espyville for “I Love the Lord.”
First Presbyterian Church would like to congratulate the winners, and to thank everyone who submitted a hymn for this contest.
