ICS Niagara Family Conferences
Typical Conference Songbook

Cover and Song index from 1988

ICS Conference song books tended to hang around in boxes for a long time. They were considered precious. My own family sometimes invited people to bring theirs along and sing for a while in our backyard, in between talking about advancing the Kingdom. I suppose many song books just wore out.

This is the only year’s song book that I have left. The book is not identified in any way as being of the ICS, or from a certain year, but, judging by the cover photos, I’ll venture it is from 1988, the year after those photos appeared in Perspective.

Here is the index of songs from this songbook:
