God in Music

*With your youth:
"How will you find God in music?” is an idea for exploring how God speak to us through the music we listen to. See Tim’s idea at Playlist idea link. *If you use this idea you may want to be sensitive to and even have a discussion around artist copyrights instead of just burning the songs for everyone. Instead you could instead invite folks to view music videos on You Tube (be sure to preview first for content) or you could invite each youth to bring a favourite song (which you preview) and then compile a playlist from them which you could share with the group the next week. There are also some on-line playlist sites. Ask your youth for their suggestions on playlist sites.
Make sure that you include a selection of your own choice as well (appropriate for youth consumption) and be prepared to explain how God speaks to you through that selection.

* Just for You ~ An on-line Copyright Guide for Congregations produced by the United Church of Canada can be found at Copyright info link. It is most helpful anytime you use copyrighted materials whether they be visual (movies, videos, photos, art), audio (music, printed music), or written (books, articles, comics, etc.).
