Singing in Community: Paperless Music for Worship
Singing in Community invites you to reconnect with singing and leading music as generations before us have done, something actually begun in ancient times. Before Gutenberg made it possible to "put the music in people's hands," congregational song and folk hymns were led without printed music for each singer. We can learn to sing in this way - a practice that seems new, but is very old.
