In 1912, songwriter C. Austin Miles penned what would eventually become known (in Pitman!)\u00a0 as “the Pitman Anthem.” Miles lived in Pitman, and it is believed that he wrote this famous hymn during his time in our town (although that point is debatable).<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

But what is for sure is that the hymn “In the Garden” speaks of an enduring relationship between God and His children.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The pandemic forced us to find new ways of community while maintaining physical distance from each other.\u00a0 During this time, we developed an agility with technology that allowed us to meet virtually.\u00a0 In June of 2021, PUMC’er Bob Bazzel and his daughter Abigail Marmelstein used their musical and computer skills to assemble a virtual choir to sing “In the Garden.”\u00a0 About 14 people recorded their voices while singing along with an instrumental rendition.\u00a0 The resulting audio files were merged together and graphic slides were created.\u00a0 The result is the below video rendition of “Pitman’s In The Garden.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
