Calling all songwriters and graphic artists. Once again we are producing a CD that will be given away at our regional conference this July.
Details will be coming shortly but for now start writing and recording songs that you want to submit for this project.
This year we are asking graphic artists to submit art work that will be chosen for the cover of the CD.
Please get the word out to all the folks in your church communities that might be interested.
A bunch of worship leaders within the Vineyard movement (& I’m sure others) are sharing their set lists each week on Twitter using the hash tag #sundaysetlist.
Check out what other people are singing…

A great question came up in another discussion:
“What process do you all use to select the set? Currently it’s taking me a loooong time to decide what to play.”
Let’s discuss… how do you choose songs? how far in advance do you? why?
Tell us what you play every Sunday.
Away in a Manger (PDF) has a different melody and can be a nice change from the more traditional version. This particular arrangement uses quartal harmony. Quartal harmony uses stacked 4th intervals. It provides an ambiguous chord that is a great substitute for more traditional chords. Read more »
