SPD Hymn Madness!
What are your favorite hymns?
UPDATE May 10 – We have a winner!
Beautiful Savior is the 2023 favorite hymn of St. Philip the Deacon! Thanks to everyone who contributed their votes to our SPD Hymn Madness bracket tournament. It was fun!

There are over 650 hymns in the Evangelical Lutheran Worship Hymnal (ELW), but which ones are your favorites? We’re holding a friendly bracket tournament to find out!
Inspired by March Madness, SPD’s Hymn Madness tournament pairs 64 of the ELW’s most popular, general-purpose hymns in a multi-round bout determined by popular vote. The top eight hymns will be sung during worship as a Liturgy of Hymns later this summer. The winning hymn will claim the title for SPD’s Hymn of the Year!

Information, including how and when to vote, will be published in our weekly news email, on social media and in the Partners in the Gospel worship bulletin insert.
