Is this new format just me or is everyone experiencing it?
The topic is camp and action songs. Which ones do you remember?
I've just sat down to select hymns for Easter Sunday, and I thought it would be edifying to see what other congregations will be singing this joyful Eastertide.
We have people visit the cafe, after receiving a sudden shock having lost someone or something.
Whether it be a life taken unexpectedly or someone facing a serious illness....a job lost or a relationship broken,....we often walk together in this stages.
Yet, we aren't always here, nor do people always wish to communicate.
I thought it might be fun - for those of us who keep tabs on the current top 40 - to suggest ideas on how they might use a specific song during worship service. I realize the the list changes weekly so this might create some challenges for us in keeping us.
When I feel sad, I listen to certain songs...either that make me sad or make me happy.
What songs help you (either to become happy or stay sad)?
I tend to listen to "Walking in Memphis" by Marc Cohn.
Has anyone ever sung this song at church/a church function?
You get in a circle and cross your arms and hold the people next to you's hands and sway back and forth as you sing (or at least this is how we do it at camp).
Walk with me, I will walk with you,
We'll build a land that God has planned, where love shines through.
