    Hello Joan! My church is having Women's Day at the end of march & I'm looking for an easy processional song for the women's choir to learn. Something new that is repititious. It is a small choir, about 7 or 8 people. Our theme for this year is Women Encouraging One Another. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance & may God continue to bless you & your ministry!

    Fabulous page! Gospel choir is incredible. I've only sung in and played for a traditional choir. I was rehearsal conductor for our chapel choir in college. The closest I've come to Gospel Choir was a concert with all the churches in our town two years back, and WAAAAY back in college when Eddie Bonnemere visited our choir and tried to inject some soul into a bunch of stuffy, traditional, Lutheran white kids. IT WAS WONDERFUL! Thank you for this!

    It's so funny but I can remember giving this lens the works the last time I was an Angel, but no go. Anyway back again. I wish I could hear you all sing 'Burning Bridges', always been one of my favourites. Blessed by an Angel.

    Yes, I think it is a great idea to make a recording of each part for people to take home and practice with. That has helped me a great deal in the past. I also agree with using those beautiful old hymns as well as the inspiring contemporary music. 5*

    I haven't figured out how to get rid of the duplicate! If someone can point me to that information, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    I like your writing style. This lens is informative, easy to read and interesting. I also like how you quote the Scripture and then under it, you put it into simple terminology that fits what you are writing about. Oh, and you have two "contents at a glance" just wanted to mention that in case you didn't notice that. Excellent lens over all.

    I'm not super musical, but I do love to sing in a church choir! There's a certain energy that comes from singing in a group. And of course, worship is powerfully energizing!
