Music

Some of the feedback I have received regards music at our church not really being relevant to youth. It isn't current, it is played traditionally, and the hymns are perceived as "archaic." I am trying to incorporate some more current music into my aspect of the worship service. My problem is that I am no longer as current with music as I once was. I have found certain types of music speak to me and my growing spirituality more than others. One of my favourites (Into the Mystic written by Van Morrison and recently covered by Colin James) is becoming a part of this Sunday's worship service. It certainly is different from what is normally a part of the worship service, but I also realize that it is "my music" not what youth would see as "current."

So what is out there that you find relevant? I am looking for anything that feeds you, that gives you that sense of being a part of it. What is the music that infiltrates your cells? That is what I find spiritually nurturing. Music that enters my body and becomes part of me while I hear it or perform it. Music that I seem to enter and become part of at the same time.

I'd love to share some of that!
