This issue IMHO is what created the Chorus Books of the mid to late sixties and made the singing of choruses so popular with many church congregations. People need to to be able to "hear" (volumn and clarity) the words to new songs first and it help…
Thank you, everyone, great discussion!

Yep! Great advice- and then when those 20 songs become your solid "base" add 10 more that you throw in there with the 20 and sing them until they know them. then just keep adding.
Look for songs that are well-known but aren't necessarily "overplaye…
always good advice
Here's what you need:
Don't do too many songs. I don't mean to do only one or two songs per service, but have a list of ten songs or so. That way people get familar with the songs, you can introduce one per two week or so. Have a blessed day :)

We use solo music in introduction music prior the actual worship service, there are no words just instruments, setting the mood. We also use solos during things like prepartion for baptism or during prepartion for the Lord's supper as to set a speci…
Sing ability = Familiarity picks 20 or so songs that your repeat routinely in the line u[p and they will be singing them all in a few months.
I never heard our church do a good version of 'All we need' , but that's another story. From the Methodist Youth Hymnal c. 1941:
1. Is the melody pleasing?
2. Is the theology solid?
3. Is it singable?
I've spoken up around here before about the ran…
Great answers! This is my favorite topic, but I've really got nothing more to add. (If you check my posts here, this almost NEVER happens!)
Do a search on our song discussions on this forum also. You'll find a lot of recommendations from people who…
