Notes for service leaders re inclusion of songs/sung liturgy
Agreed guidance from the worship committee to service leaders is as follows:
Gloria
Week 1 – WFA so no Gloria
Week 3 – Traditional Gloria [Appleford]
Children’s songs
To be sung in week 1 and week 3 and as otherwise felt appropriate by service leaders – see list below.
Song choices
Per service: At least 1x trad hymn; 2 x newer songs [see list below]; at least one other. Children’s songs as per above. Exception is Green Book services where there is flexibility to use more traditional songs. Please ensure though that there is a song from the song introduction list below.
Blog of Songs Sung
Week by week service leaders are requested to send their list of songs to a specific email address and a record will be kept at the following website:
https://stjohnssonglist.wordpress.com
The email address has been circulated and can be obtained from Ben Ling if needed.
Musicians
For details of service book colours and musicians see the bottom of this page after the song lists.
