This song was written specifically with church youth campers in mind and as part of a package of songs that go along with the Scripture texts and themes for Chalice Press's 2017 "Branching Out" curriculum. But it works in lot of other contexts as well. Easy to play, easy to sing, and a simple prayer to be able to hear the voice and leading of the Divine. Learn More

A very simple, straightforward, easy to play song written with kids and youth camps in mind about the way Jesus treated women.

Intrigued?  Give it a listen!  This is a lyric I want kids to grow up singing and learning by heart...  It was inspired by the account of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery in John 8. 

By the way, where was the man?   :)

This is one of 10 songs I (Bryan Sirchio) wrote recently to go along with the new "Branching Out" camp curriculum put out by the Disciples of Christ for the 2017 summer season.

This piece can function in 3 ways: the refrain can stand alone as a Gloria, fit for that celebratory moment in worship; the verses can stand alone as a hymn form; all together the song can serve both/either. This song works well with organ, piano or band ensemble.

The title of this song comes form the Pledge of Alligience, whose presence and meaning has changed over the years for many people. Psalm 2 is about two ways for nations to live, and the song "Under God" laments the way that brings suffering. The song directly addresses the authorities and powers that make political decisions that effect people's life and livelihoods.

This song is a reflection on Psalm 109, one of the most angry psalms. The song "Move" invites focused commitment to be active in the work of protest, healing and justice. It also names anger as a natural response to oppression, perhaps a good fuel for change.

This song is a reflection on Psalm 101, longing for wholeness on behalf of self, others, a nation, a world. Reconciliation is possible when there is a desire for integration, collection, weaving together of two things thought to be polarized or opposed. Singing this song may bring to mind the conflicts that are present and our longing for change.

Every great religious tradition has ideas about how the Holy is present. Christian teaching sometimes lists the orthodox ways God is revealed and how prayer works. These are good things. However, if we align too tightly to particulars, we may lose the sense of God's mystery which may be essential to a thriving faith. This song is an effort to explore with young people around the campfire some of the ways we might experience God.

"You did not choose me, but I chose you." Jesus' words from John 15.16 can be heard as claiming, community and commissioning all at once. A good cmapfire song as well as congregational piece.

Psalm 120 is the voice of the psalmist desperate. At one point in the psalm, the psalmist throws their head back and wails, "I am for peace but whenever I open my mouth, they are for violence!" This is a song for sidewalk, street and capital steps. The rerfain may stand alone at a protest rally or the entire song can be sung to name moments of our lives ready for serious change. Particularly adventurous communities may invent verses that hit home at the time of singing.

The gospel of John has Jesus deliver this simple metaphor in chapter 15: I'm the vine; you're the branches; God's the gardener. This song unpacks it as an intergenerational upbeat song. Three simple lines can be learned easily and then sung together and simultaneously. Great for kids and youth in a camp, youth gathering or Sunday School context.

Out of the grand tradition of mixer songs such as "Shake Another Hand," it comes. With verses encouraging running, playing, dancing, safe touch and general silliness, the song helps youth do what they want to do anyway-- get to know one another and stretch out with some healthy risks to do so. Perfect for opening night of camp.
