Raise Your Voice! The winter hymn project

Yes, we’re home again, so it’s time to be a little creative…

 Music project #1

I’m inviting ALL present and past parishioners or anyone connected in any way to SouthWest to send me your favourite hymn and at least one sentence explaining why. All hymns, carols, psalms from Voices United or More Voices are candidates. And if you have another suggestion not included in either of those books, I’ll do my absolute best to find it.

I’ll do a little research about each one, and together we’re going to choose our Sunday hymns.

Linda Dixon! I know you read the newsletter, and SouthWest wouldn’t be SouthWest without you and Bob, so I’m expecting to hear from you!

SouthWest regulars (me included): it’s time to reach out to people we haven’t heard from in a while, and please! Hymns are the pretext!

The service for this Sunday is in the can (so to speak) so this will get rolling for the week after, January 16. And it will roll right on back into ‘in-person worship,’ whenever that may be.

 
Music project #2

I’m going to get back to something I did for Holy Week during the first lockdown, and that is to put together a music playlist with added commentary. Whether this will be part of the newsletter or in a separate email, I’m not yet certain. Next week though, for sure!

Let’s be a community in song. Draw the circle wide!

If music be the food of love, play on…
