About the Series
A faith-based, ecumenical, three-part animated pilot, Hymn Tails brings together classic hymns, scripture, and storytelling to nurture curiosity, kindness, and community.
Each episode centers on three simple takeaways children can remember and practice in church or at home:
• A hymn phrase from the United Methodist Hymnal
• A scripture verse that grounds the story
• A hands-on activity families can try together
