We are happy to send you news about new hymns by Carolyn. For example, her hymn "Abraham Journeyed to a New Country" is inspired in part by Hebrews 13, the lectionary epistle lesson for August 29th. Church World Service, Sojourners, the National Council of Churches, Mennonite Church USA, the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program and others are promoting this hymn about the church's ministry with immigrants. Three of Carolyn's hymns ("Down by the Jordan," "O Christ, When You Ascended" and "Whatever You Do") are included in Worship and Song: for United Methodists (Abingdon Press, February 2011). Carolyn has several other hymns in the works.
