Welcome back!

At my house, outside my morning window, tiny tree leaves are expanding daily. So, for you fellow-Northerners, we continue to highlight our song God Must Delight as Trees Leaf Out.

For the church year, we are approaching Pentecost on May 24th, 2026. For that, we highlight our hymn for congregation At Pentecost. We have versions with slightly different emphases. Another possible hymn is Connected by Spirit, to go with the reading from 1 Corinthians about the the church as the body of Christ. If your congregation serves communion that day, also consider our song Jesus, Feed Us for voice and guitar. It ties to either the reading from John 20:19-23 or John 7:37-39.

For the Sunday after Pentecost, focusing on the Trinity, we offer our song Creation. Cana. Pentecost. It has a variety of tunes and treatments. We also offer our solo, Morning Prayer. Perhaps, as summer schedules begin and choirs often take vacation, these can be useful for special music.

For June 7th, the Gospel lesson relates to our newest song, with the story of the raising of Jairus's daughter. "Why Are You Afraid?" Asked Jesus can remind us generally of the power and the peace of Christ. We have a hymn version for congregation, set to the lovely chant-like tune usually remembered as "Of the Father's Love Begotten." We also offer a very free, fairly simple piano version for personal use. See the new study, too!

One very flexible song of ours can be special music for communion services. Check out the various versions of Lord, Before that Quiet Meal. Either keyboard-based or guitar-based treatments are available.

Finally, to tie to the Gospel lesson for July 5th, consider our new guitar solo setting of I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say.

 

Check back in summer for more song ideas!
