Here's what people are saying! 
 
"Our Music Director and  our musical group loved the music."  "It was fresh, easy to pick up, fun to sing!" 
The Rev. Dr. Richard Schlak, Pastor, Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, Foxborough, Massachusetts

 

"Our contemporary worship team loves the songs in Vol. 1 of 'Songs For Worship.'  We find them easy to learn, easy to sing, and both beautiful and inspirational.  Many of the songs work equally well as 'performance' numbers and as songs for the whole congregation to sing.  Our church's young people will enjoy using them during our monthly youth service, as well.  We are looking forward to Vol. 2!"

Susan Bracken, Worship and Music Coordinator

Bethany Lutheran Church, Onamia, Minnesota

 

 "The songs on Lutheran Songs Today, vol. 1 have touched me deeply.  I use songs which speak to me as an integral part of my prayer and preaching life.  When something 'speaks' to my heart, I play it again and again, often for weeks on end.  Some of these songs are used regularly in our contemporary worship and also in our combined contemporary and traditional worship services.  I am eagerly awaiting the next volume."

    Cammie Bella, Spiritual Director, Licensed Lay Preacher, Retreat & Class Leader; worshipping at the Church of  the Good Samaritan (Episcopal), Corvallis, Oregon.

 

"Lutheran Songs Today contains music that will engage, excite, and inspire singers of all ages.  The accessible arrangements and intuitive melodies make this collection a must in your piano bench!"

Kajsa Teiltelbaum, Minister of Music, Pilgrim Lutheran Church, Warwick, Rhode Island.  Licensed Cantor in the Church of Sweden.  Graduate of the Royal College of Music, Stockholm, Sweden.

 

"What a delight to find this superb collection of music, complete with lectionary helps, ready to play right out of the box!  It fits our ELCA theology perfectly,emphasizes both law and gospel, and makes use of innovative harmonies to restate
profound biblical themes. The Good News comes through loud and clear! 

All I can say is...keep it coming! I've told everyone I know about your website, and will check frequently for more of the high-quality music resources you provide."

Kathy Schuen, Worship Leader, Prince of Peace Evangelical Lutheran Church, Portage, Michigan 

 

"In Lutheran Songs Today, vol. 1 Pastor Eric Wefald has put together an impressive collection of some of the best of contemporary worship songs by Lutheran Singer-Songwriters and Bands.  The songs are effectively and conveniently transcribed for keyboard and guitar, complete with lead sheets, with helpful introductions regarding theme, scripture references, suggestions for how and when to use in worship and the liturgical year, illustrations of the chords used in each composition, and brief introductions to the authors/composers.
     Lutherans who wish for contemporary music from Lutheran sources will find this a welcome resource, and I heartily recommend the accompanying CD as well, with recordings by the original artists."
Stephen Reed, Director of Music, First Lutheran Church, New Oxford, Pennsylvania.  Music Retreat Leader for Camp Calumet, New Hampshire.  (Former Music Director of Christ the King Lutheran Church, Holliston, MA. )

Steven Misch, Area A, Texas District Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, Mission and Ministry Facilitator

 
"I actually was very pleased to find this music resource. Our worship planning team especially appreciates the scripture key for each song. It's a very good resource. Will
there be additional songs in other books to come? I would recommend this resource to folks hoping to broaden their repertoire and to any congregation seeking additional
songs for congregational singing."

Bringing the Best to the Rest of the Church 
Lutheran Songs Today is all about finding the best of alternative worship songs by Lutheran singer-songwriters, and then making those songs available to the whole worshipping church.  Our NATIONAL WORSHIP SONG CONTEST is designed to bring out the amazing songs rising in our congregations, and make them available to all the church.

There are many great Lutheran Singer Songwriters who have produced many great worship songs.  Unfortunately, many people know just one of these Lutheran singer-songwriters, at most.  For the first time ever, Lutheran Songs Today combines the very best alternative worship songs by Lutherans into one song resource, and provides a lectionary based approach to using those songs in worship.
