Noel & Alleluia! Jesus Is Born, created by Tom Fettke and orchestrated by Russell Mauldin, is the ideal Christmas offering for church choirs of all sizes. With music by some of the Christian music world's most popular artists; such as Michael W. Smith, Keith & Kristyn Getty, Lowell Alexander, and Tom Fettke; this narrated music will resonate with congregations that lean toward a more traditional style of worship, as well as those with a more contemporary bent.

Highlights include a new version of Carol of the Bells by Tom Fettke, Michael W. Smith's Christmas Angels, the beautiful and moving Jesus, Joy of Highest Heaven from contemporary hymn writers Keith and Kristyn Getty, and the fun Hallelujah Jesus Is Born! All of these songs are intertwined and held together by the masterful narrative writings of Claire Cloninger.

For SATB choirs of any size, with minimal solo opportunities, your choir and congregation will be singing Noel & Alleluia! Jesus Is Born all year long.

Composed by Jeremy J. Bankson. Building Dedication, 21st Century, Creation/Nature, Music. Full score. Published by MorningStar Music Publishers (MN.60-9761).

A resource for praying farewell. Edited by Barbara Day Miller. This edition: Leader's edition. Sacred. GIA Publications #10662. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-10662).

THIS IS THE LEADER'S EDITION Conceived and created in the midst of the global Covid-19 pandemic which began in early 2020 and continues as this edition goes to press, the resource, Amen. Alleluia! A resource for praying farewell, grows out of reality and necessity. All individuals, families and institutions have been affected by the pandemic, including the church. Congregations responded in offering pastoral care in numerous ways when a gathering of people was not possible or permissible. It seems inevitable that some of these initiatives will now become a normative experience in the life of a congregation. These initiatives include the streaming or broadcast of services, increased ministry to those who cannot be present, providing resources for home prayer, adaptation of worship services in denomination resources, and relevant to this publication, the growing experience of delayed or postponed funerals. Amen. Alleluia! A resource for praying farewell offers clergy, pastoral ministers, congregations, families and individuals a collection of prayer services, Scripture passages, other texts, and music to mourn the death, and celebrate the life, of the deceased. While many of the services are framed in the structure of Western liturgical traditions, the collection is truly ecumenical. The material within may be used in conjunction with a congregation’s or denomination’s principal worship resource, or as an alternative to established liturgies. With adaptation, this resource can be used at interfaith memorials, as well as with those who have no affiliation in a faith tradition. CONTENTS: Graveside Funeral and Service of Committal, Graveside Funeral and Service of Committal for a Child, Graveside Committal Following a Funeral, Brief Service for the Scattering of Ashes, Prayer Service When a Funeral Is Delayed, Anniversary Visit to a Grave, Meditation for a Personal Visit to a Gravesite, Prayer and Meditation When Tending a Grave, Remembering and Naming the Saints of the Congregation, A Congregational Ritual of Loss and New Beginnings, Brief Service for the Death of a Beloved Animal, Other Liturgical Texts, Scripture Readings, Psalms, Poetry and Reflections, Hymns.
