These streaming permissions are exclusively for churches that have purchased the Trinity Psalter Hymnal and only applicable to OPC/URCNA copyrighted songs and public domain songs. These temporary streaming permissions will expire Monday, May 11, 2020. After this date, unless extended, churches should delete any recorded streaming sessions and must request permission for any further streaming purposes.
