  3. God's Voice Anywhere
    By: Richard Bruxvoort Colligan

    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.

  5. Help Us To Hear
    By: Bryan Sirchio

    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

  6. How Jesus Treated Women (Change The Rules)
    By: Bryan Sirchio

    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.

    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.
