Perfect for individual and group study, some of the discussion points are: Do you find yourself tempted to copy the Voice of the church down the street? Are there songs and worship styles that fit your congregation and some which don\'t? Have you discovered and claimed songs which are older treasures in your congregation? What are the new treasures for your congregation? What is unique about your congregation? How is this reflected in the singing Voice of your congregation? How can you enable your congregation to claim songs which express their hearts and souls? Terry W.
