We’re working to develop and promote indigenous Covenant music – songs written in the Covenant church, that are an overflow of the missional life that we share. Through the Department of Christian Formation we are excited to start a pilot project of gathering and redistributing music written within our midst. Here’s how it works.<\/div>\n

We’re looking for songs that can potentially become “theme songs<\/em><\/strong>” for various Covenant wide events. Each year we have a theme for our denominational events that flows out of our core values and theology. Send us any of your original songs that might support these themes. If your song is selected by the committee, it will be featured at the event, and a recording of the song will be distributed to all the participants so that they can take them back to their churches to the song can be sung in the local church.<\/p>\n

\"Submit<\/a><\/p>\n

The 2010 Midwinter the theme is “The Necessity of the New Birth<\/em><\/strong>.” Send us your original songs that flow out of that theme. We would love to hear them and pass the best songs on! Pass the word around! There’s a lot of “untapped” songwriting talent in the Covenant. We’re hoping this is a first step of many in helping to uncover some of that talent.<\/p>\n

Rooting for you,<\/p>\n

Andrew Thompson<\/p>\n

of the Event Song Selection Committee<\/strong><\/p>\n
