It's a go!
 A new printing of Chalice Hymnal will proceed in September as preorders have reached goal to make the printing feasible.
Now the Christian Board of Publication (CBP) is urging congregations to get on the bandwagon and push the total order above 1,000 new hymnals.
"We know many congregations have been waiting to place an order, waiting to see if the printing would take place. Now we can say with certainty: Yes, it's going to happen," CBP President Brad Lyons said. "Place your order before Labor Day - September 7 - and you'll have your copies by Advent."
Because this is a limited print run, CBP cannot guarantee that orders placed after Labor Day (September 7) can be filled, so congregations are strongly encouraged to place their order this summer. Read full release
