Yes, the label on the RasPi says "Matthews First Ward", a distinctively LDS moniker for a faith community.

I enjoyed the demo and I appreciate how the hymn is played: with a few bars of intro first, before the singing proper would begin. This is a very helpful aid to congregational singing, to cue everyone in on the key, tempo, and melody being used. Traditionally, it has not been uncommon for congregations to sing in four-part harmony, perhaps aided by hymnals with real music notation, or sometimes, people know how to improvise a harmony in their own range.
