As you are planning for Lent, the Three Days, and Easter, <\/span>All Creation Sings<\/span><\/i><\/a> provides several resources for your assembly’s worship.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

Lent<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

Explore<\/span><\/b> the collection of \u201cshort songs\u201d in <\/span>All Creation Sings. <\/span><\/i>These could be incorporated into a weekly Service of Word and Prayer (ACS pp. 42-45) for a Lenten midweek service or during communion, gathering, or other times in Sunday worship. <\/span>This blog post<\/span><\/a> provides video links and tips for using these songs in ACS.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enrich<\/span><\/b> your use of Setting 12 in <\/span>All Creation Sings <\/span><\/i>with the <\/span>Ensemble Setting<\/span><\/a> arranged by Anne Krentz Organ. You don\u2019t need a full orchestra; even a single instrumentalist or a few handbells would be a lovely addition. Read <\/span>this blog post<\/span><\/a> for one congregation\u2019s experience using this setting.\u00a0 <\/span>Watch the composer<\/span><\/a> share more about Setting 12.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pray<\/span><\/b> using several of the new prayers in <\/span>All Creation Sings. <\/span><\/i>Several collects, laments, and thanksgivings are offered. This video gives a very <\/span>brief introduction<\/span><\/a> to this content.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Holy Week and The Three Days<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Teach <\/span><\/b>a \u201cpaperless\u201d setting for the procession with palms. Both <\/span>\u201cPave the Way with Branches\u201d<\/span><\/a> (ACS 928) and \u201cBlessed is the One\u201d (ACS 929) could be taught and sung by rote, with harmonies being added as it becomes more familiar. Children could lead these as well.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Sing<\/span><\/b> from <\/span>All Creation Sings <\/span><\/i>as part of your Easter Vigil service. <\/span>This blog post<\/span><\/a> provides several ideas. If you are considering \u201cEarth Is Full of Wit and Wisdom\u201d as an assembly response to the creation story, <\/span>this video offers a brief introduction<\/span><\/a>. Do you have a children\u2019s or unison choir? See <\/span>this setting<\/span><\/a> in <\/span>ChildrenSing Creation.<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Consult <\/span><\/b>the <\/span>Indexes to Evangelical Lutheran Worship and All Creation Sings<\/span><\/a> to see several suggestions from ACS for this week and throughout the year.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Easter<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Teach<\/span><\/b> a new Easter hymn such as \u201cWoman, Weeping in the Garden.\u201d\u00a0<\/span> This video<\/span><\/a> provides background on the text and a singing of the tune. There is a short description of this and every hymn\/song in <\/span>All Creation Sings <\/span><\/i>through Sundays and Seasons. <\/span>This Augsburg Fortress blog post<\/span><\/a> describes the value of these brief descriptions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Introduce<\/span><\/b> your congregation to other new Easter hymns through choral settings. <\/span>\u201cTouch That Soothes and Heals\u201d<\/span><\/a> by Thomas Keesecker offers a more meditative expression of Easter and is especially suitable for Easter 2. With its beautiful piano accompaniment and setting for SAB choir, a choir could introduce the assembly to this new hymn. <\/span>Take a listen<\/span><\/a>. Curious about what other ACS hymns and songs have anthem arrangements? <\/span>This listing<\/span><\/a> would be a great help to church musicians.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Discover <\/span><\/b>All Creation Sings<\/span><\/i> outside of worship with an intergenerational event using <\/span>Gather Together: 8 Intergenerational Events to Explore All Creation Sings.<\/span><\/i><\/a> Perhaps you have a session close to Earth Day and use the Creation Care event or Climate Justice event. You could have a \u201ckick off\u201d session in Easter and plan other sessions throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n
