Voices Together

It is said that a congregation’s musical core contains roughly 200 songs. In this Worship series we are intentional about broadening our singing repertoire. We will sing old, beloved hymns, songs with new or revised lyrics. AND we learn music new to us, written by a diversity of people of a wide variety of cultures, languages, and ages. The Voices Together hymnal honours the faith of past generations in a unique way, including words from each of the 15 centuries before Mennonites entered the scene. Theologically, the hymnal includes songs which may be an accurate reflection of our faith, OR, they may challenge us from one direction or another.

Over these five weeks note which songs express some of the cries of your own heart. Pay attention to which songs give fresh expression to the experiences of our time. Or which ones play on repeat within your spirit all week long. Are there songs which sweep you up into a sense of God’s presence? Or raise questions for you? Or name a surprising aspect of faith?
