We use StF as well as several other supplements for congregational song (although in the pews we have Lift Up Your Hearts in addition to the hymnal). Most of...
-Amy: Our congregation has enjoyed getting to know some of the better material in "Sing the Faith". As you may know, it is a near-clone of the Methodist's "The...
Our choir was working out of the Methodist version, The Faith We Sing, before the Pres Pub company came out with a clone. We especially use the Taize, Iona and...

William and Eliot, I think the separation of church service styles does hurt the unity of the church. At SOTV, we really talked through that stuff years ago,...
I think you missed the point. Since our two services offer a wider selection of matierals, many cross over between the two. I have served in many churches...
You're right, I think I misunderstood you. Sounds like things are good for you! I do think churches have to be intentional about how they keep their unity...
