A free service offered to local churches and similar bodies for non-commercial use in worship, praise and devotions. If the music is useful, give something extra to those in need, in lieu of any fees. It need not be money. It may be love, comfort, support, shelter. Any act of kindness will do. Be watchful. Be creative.

Music That Makes Community

Music That Makes Community is designed specifically for clergy, musicians, and lay people who want to learn how to lead music effectively without the use of hymnals or other printed materials. This important musical tradition can both enhance existing music programs and aid the development of new ones within participants' churches. Music That Makes Community rekindles an ancient practice of singing… a way of making music that has been central to folk traditions for centuries. "Paperless" music can be sung by any group of any size, and in any setting. Taught and sung from memory, it is simple and beautiful, faithful and traditional. Sung without the use of a book, these songs allow congregations to focus on listening to one another, being attentive to the Holy Spirit, and singing from their hearts.
