Suggested Song List

Somos Uno: We Are One: bilingual (English/Spanish) with the opportunity to include other languages spoken by people in the congregation.

Omo Ba Ni: an exciting Nigerian song of welcome to Christ into our lives.

Jesus is a Rock: an original children’s stone passing game patterned after similar games sung in many traditional cultures. This inter-generational song/story/game has parts for adults as well as children, with the high school youth providing leadership.

In Christ There is No East or West: an arrangement which juxtaposes a Chinese setting of this familiar text with well known Burleigh setting, and is sung with gongs, finger cymbals, and flute.
