Don Marsh of Avery & Marsh Dead at 86

Many of us who grew up in the United Church in the 1960's and 70's were well acquainted with the songs of Avery and Marsh. "I Am the Church, You Are the Church", "Every Morning is Easter Morning" and a joyful version of the Doxology were staples of camps, retreat centers and Sunday worship. Several of their hymns were included in the Hymn Book and, I believe, Songs for a Gospel People. Alas, none of the Avery and Marsh hymns made the cut for Voices United and none are included in More Voices. We are all the poorer for that omission.
