Hey all,
I'm working on updating my song lists. What songs should I consider?

our Pastor suggested that I take a look at your site, and so I did! We're a sorta blended congregation of some very seniors and some middle agers, and the odd 30 something. I'm the 60 yr old trying, for the past 25 years, to make contemporary music popular in the mix, usually with an acoustic guitar, or bass or even a drum kit sometimes. We use the ELW a lot, for settings 6, 7, 8, and 10. Our service hymns to contemporary songs ratio is about 70:30, but I often work with our keyboardist/pianist to re-arrange the hymn to be led by a guitar with a keyboard pad accompaniment underneath.

The choir here is at best 12 strong, average ago about 64, including one 12 year old. The next youngest is 53. We stick to 3 part arrangements. We don't sing weekly service music; we sing newer compositions every couple weeks.

Some of the recent worship/praise songs we've added to our rotation are Hungry (Kathryn Scott) and Wonders (Integrity). Thanks for the list of 10 you posted a couple years ago. Better late than never.
