I subscribe to a blog named “Growing Healthy Churches. Together.” by Thom S. Rainer. The following was written by a Millennial, Jonathan Howe.
 ________________________________________________________________
“Five Reasons Why This Millennial Still Likes Using Hymnals”
I might lose my Millennial card for admitting this, but: I like hymnals. A lot. Yes, I realize I’m supposed to want to worship with fog machines and song lyrics on projector screens with cool moving backgrounds. And sometimes I enjoy that too—but not all the time. So why would a 36-year old Millennial enjoy hymnals? Here are my five reasons:
  1. Holding the hymnal in my hands and reading the lyrics help me focus in worship.
If my eyes are fixed on the words and notes to sing, I’m less distracted. Other than maybe the first and last verse of many hymns, I don’t know the words. Unlike many newer worship songs that I’ve memorized easily, I have to pay more attention to what I’m singing when using a hymnal because I’m less familiar with the words.

To all of our members no matter what term describes your age (Boomer, Gen X, Gen Y, Millennial, Gen Z, etc) is there someone with whom you can share Jonathan Howe’s blog. Maybe sharing might get that person to think about the benefit of our style of worship.
