Does anyone know where I should order new numbers for our chapels Hymn signboard? They appear to be standard size when comparing them to other chapels. Any help would be appreciated.

The FM Group is responsible for maintaining the meeting house. The hymn number cards are part of the furnishings for which they are responsible. Contact your physical facilities representative to contact the FM office to order replacements.

It's simpler than that. They are right on store.lds.org:

They are called 'song numbers' and are sold as a set as shown. Made of common cardboard, they will last some time but yes they do eventually wear out. Can be done through a unit order through the store website when you order them either alone or with any other materials you may need to get at the time.

Maybe it is very easy to print the hymn numbers on a sheet of paper andattach it at the rack for the hymn numbers.

You also can make the number cards by yourself by printing the numbers andask the RS members to cut it in the right size.

I found this after I searched the internet and is is almost similar to theoriginal numbers.

It is easy to download and to install.

Thanks for posting this, our hymn numbers have definitely seen better days and we just haven't ever gotten around to ordering a new set. I hadn't even thought to see if it was available on the 'store' website!

The new song numbers are shorter than the older ones. They don't fit inside the old Hymn board.

I have the same problem! The new number cards keep falling out. The Church doesn't sell hymn boards in their online store, just the numbers. Any ideas?

Speak to your high councilor with facilities responsibilities. He can contact the FM Group who has the responsibility for maintaining the building. The number board may fall under their responsibility.

As a workaround, you could try getting some sturdy plastic sheets and cutting them into rectangles so they fit onto each row of the hymn board (one rectangle per row) to hold the numbers in.

How do we know if we have an old or a new hymn board? Ours have been up for a while so I'm guessing they might be "old", but perhaps "old" means ones that have been around since the '80s. I guess we can simply wait until we get our new hymn numbers and then try them out, but it's worth asking beforehand anyways...

We aren't the only church that uses hymn numbers. They are commonly available in various sizes. If the ones from the distribution center don't work for your board, you can order them other places - for example on amazon. One seller I saw on amazon says they will trim them to the exact size you want. Not endorsing amazon - just pointing it out as an example.

Just to follow-up, we did receive the new numbers, and they fit the current board we had. The numbers are now matte instead of glossy, it's noticeable up close but from a distance (at least to my eyes) they are just as good.

I ordered the Hymn #s ($9.745) on July 10, 1923. as of 7-29 I am still waiting. They have been out of stock for several months, but I finally got an order placed but have not received them? Good luck!

If you ordered and haven't heard in three weeks, call the support number for distribution services. They have developed a problem where they will accept an order, then they will cancel it and not notify anyone.

I had a couple of orders in for months and I waited - thinking it might be backlog, or supply chain issues, etc, so I was practicing patience. When I finally called, the rep looked at the history for those orders and said my order was cancelled just days after I placed it, but they just hadn't sent me a notice. It wasn't every order I placed, just some. A couple were apparently "victims" of distribution changing suppliers (and therefore their internal SKU for an item) and they didn't carry over the orders from the prior SKU to the new SKU (which anyone who does online sales would do automatically - except distribution services). Rep couldn't figure out why the other order was cancelled.

Rep was very helpful and re-ordered everything for me (everything was in stock!), but the delay was irritating. To me, that means you just can't trust them to manage orders at the moment, so if you don't hear in a week or two, call them.
