Church of the Servant has sponsored the New Psalm Contest for 10 years now. To celebrate we held a Psalmfest on Sunday, February 2, 2020, where we sang all of the winning Psalm songs. It was a wonderful service of celebration. You can listen to a recording of each song below. You can also access more information about all the winners HERE.
