The FSGW sponsors monthly singings of early American hymns, anthems, and fuging tunes in unaccompanied four-part harmony. The main tunebook is The Sacred Harp, 1991 Edition, but Christian Harmony (Deason-Parris revision) is also used, and original shape-note compositions by local singers are sometimes sung. These singings are held every fourth Sunday afternoon (except in December) and also on New Year’s Day, with a potluck supper break from 6:00-7:00. All are welcome to come and sing or listen for as long as desired. Loaner tunebooks are available.
