    Robust Hymn Singing

    United Methodist Church

    Robust hymn singing at the St. Francisville United Methodist Church in the Historic District on Royal Street has attracted participants for the last thirty years during the Annual Pilgrimage. Lively piano playing will have you tapping your feet in time to the rhythm. The repertoire will include many of the old-time favorites and personal requests are encouraged, as well. The present Methodist Church was built in 1899 when the congregation abandoned their flood-damaged church built in Bayou Sara in 1844. Lights from stained-glass windows in rich jewel tones welcome you as you enter the historic sanctuary. For an inspirational and invigorating experience, join in this old-fashioned sing along, which is always a favorite.
