New hymnal and psalm settings
When will the new hymnal be out? Also, as far as psalm singing is concerned, is there a new version of the accompaniment available? I winter in the south and attend a WELS church. It seems they use something different, which I really liked.
The April 4, 2017 WELS “Together” newsletter includes this update: “The current hope is that the hymnal and accompanying resources would be available for purchase during the second half of 2021.”
Since I do not know what you may have experienced in singing the psalms in your southern home church, I can only guess what the accompaniment might have been. I am wondering if it could have been the Wittenberg Psalter. This link will take you to the WELS Resource Center where you can find more information about it. It is also possible that the congregation was field testing new psalm settings. For the best answer, you will want to contact the pastor where you worshiped in winter.
