Changes in Our Bulletin & Overhead Projection

For the last several months we’ve been mulling over a slight but important change in the way we handle references to God in our gatherings. This Sunday, you might notice some changes in the way the service’s content is presented. For those interested, we wanted to make you aware of our policy moving forward:

For clarity and consistency, we will attempt to reflect scripture and songs as conveyed in the English Standard Bible and/or the Trinity Hymnal, where applicable. This includes both the worship folder and the overhead projection.

This means specifically:

• Pronouns referring to the Trinity are not capitalized; this is in accordance with the majority of Bible translations, with the general rules of the English language, and with the original Greek and Hebrew texts.
• Names of all members of the Trinity are capitalized, as are other proper nouns, even where they are not in the Hymnal or other popular music texts.

If you’d like to reflect on this subject, we found this overview from Randy Alcorn to be helpful. Glory to God. See you Sunday!
