Happy Easter!


Even though there's so much chaos in the news, the vanquishing of death by God and Jesus Christ can bring us solid hope. Now for some music suggestions for this uplifting season:


NEW!
For the Second or Third Sundays of Easter, April 12th and 19th, 2026, we're offering a new text to the wonderful tune of "Of the Father's Love Begotten." To go with lessons of the Resurrected Jesus saying, "Peace" to his gathered disciples, this song can remind us generally of the power and the peace of Christ. I know that comforts me!

(If you offer communion on April 12th, our communion solo Jesus, Feed Us references Christ breathing the Spirit on his disciples also.) If your choirs take some time off after Easter, this is a possibility.

For the Fourth Sunday of Easter's emphasizing Jesus as the Good Shepherd, consider our guitar version of Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing. Or, we offer Lost Sheep for a young choir.

Jesus, Feed Us also could work for May 3rd if you serve communion that day, because of the Gospel statement in John 14 about Jesus being "the way." Or, it can work for Pentecost, May 24th, if you use the Gospel lesson from John 20. To tie to the classic Pentecost reading from Acts 2, consider our hymn At Pentecost.

Finally, as spring arrives in different parts of the country, we continue to mention our hymn God Must Delight as Trees Leaf Out.

 

Do check back for suggestions for the summer!


Meanwhile, have a most blessed Easter season!
