That's it for the year. I hope we'll add some new ones next year (completing the 3-year cycle in our lectionary). We'll have a new songbooklet ready soon that has mostly older folks' favorites, and that will extend our choices into some new areas as well.

There you have it-- Lent CAN be reverent without being depressing, and folkie without being overly precious and smarmy, too! It's OK to tap your toes, in Lent!

" So it's a serious thing, to think of bringing a child to make noise on purpose, and even to let them move around freely during the service, as we not only permit, but encourage. I've had them sneak up to stand at my knee as I play and sing, to snuggle in and watch up close. The adults who brought them almost died of this, but they can't bring themselves to argue with the priest's wife when I tell them their kids are fine. One week, a 3-year-old came all the way up to the portable table Hardi uses as the Saturday altar. She stood beside him holding hands with him as he consecrated, and then jumped down the step as he came forward with the consecrated elements to communicate the people. She stood perfectly still, enrapt, at his side watching what was hapopoening, saying "Wow" as she jumped down and "wow" at several of the communions being received.

This is how we treat kids."

Thank you for this image, along with the whole lovely thread.

CHANGE MY HEART, OH GOD
From Maranatha! as learned by Susan O. and Greg Hinton.

Change my heart oh God
Make it ever true
Change my heart oh God
May I be like You

Change my heart oh God
Make it ever true
Change my heart oh God
May I be like You

You are the potter
I am the clay
Mold me and make me
This is what I pray

Change my heart oh God
Make it ever true
Change my heart oh God
May I be like You
