1. In God's Hands
    By: Tracy Howe

    A hauntingly beautiful and very accessible song with a simple but profound lyric with layers of meaning. This will be useful in many different liturgical contexts. It's a prayer, an exhortation, a call to justice, and a tool for reflection all in one. From the artist and songwriter Tracy Howe, "We are God's hands and justice will come when it is embodied in us." Learn More

  2. 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.
