  2. Hope Is
    By: Ken Medema

    A beautiful new song by Ken Medema written to go with the "Day 3" theme of the 2018 "Beyond Belief" Outdoor Ministries Camp curriculum published by Chalice Press. The Day 3 theme is, "What If There Is Hope?" In addition to working well at camps and retreats, this song will also work well in Sunday morning worship, both as a congregational song and as a potential choral anthem. This one is crying out for some SATB arrangements! We'll get to that ASAP! Note: There are Music accompaniment tracks (the music without the vocals) available for all of Ken's "Beyond Belief" songs!

  3. Hope Out Loud
    By: Ben Johnson

    Ben Johnson leads a lot of the music at Solomon's Porch Church in the Twin Cities.  Ben says that often he will sing a song that the gathered community will listen to, and then sing along either with a refrain or just as they learn the song after repeated hearings over time. 

    This beautiful composition of Ben's is a great example of a song that is both singer/songwriter in the verses and then community song in the refrain and ending.  We look forward to making more of Ben's music available as well as to interviewing him (for our blog and Facebook posts) in order to learn how Solomon's Porch uses music in the context of worship.

    Note:  There is no sheet music available yet for this piece, but the guitar chords are listed with the lyrics in the Lead Sheet product slot for this song.

  4. Hope Will Rise Again
    By: Andra Moran

    This upbeat Easter song emphasizes hope and resilience and is a particularly good fit for this time in history. The chorus of the song includes the line "In the valley of the shadow, we're the candle in the window, saying Hope will rise again." This song includes springtime nature images in the lyrics. It can also be used throughout Eastertide. Stylistically, this is an Americana song and the chord structure will be accessible for a worship band. A video is available for this song making it particularly useful for virtual worship. This song is part of a package of resources for Holy Week Worship with virtual and in-person options from the award winning worship designers Andra Moran and Suzanne Castle at www.brimproject.com Learn More

  5. 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.
