Music Play Lists

Our Music Director, Alison Nixon, has put together three playlists featuring music from our church: Hymns, Ritual Chants, and Anthems.

Hymns

To find a hymn that is not on my list, go to YouTube and search for the name of the hymn. Chances are high that you’ll find it! Not sure of the title? Here are links to the indexes for both hymnals:

• Index for “Singing the Living Tradition” (grey hymnal)

• Index of songs for “Singing the Journey” (teal hymnal)
