Creative Tools to Help You Grow Your Music Ministry

“Music is one of the most effective means of impressing the heart with spiritual truth.”
-Ellen White

Hi!

I’m Irene Bennett

I believe that music was made to serve a holy purpose, to lift the thoughts to that which is pure, noble, and elevating, and to awaken in the soul, devotion and gratitude to God.

This realization inspired me to put the “evangelism” thrust in being a musician. Not just as a performer, but through the means of helping to educate church members in these lines.

I trained to become a missionary, and in the process, I matured in my walk with Christ. I began to understand more of what role music plays in worship, in the present life, and in the life to come.

Hymns for Worship is basically an evangelistic effort, with the goal of helping SDA church lay members appreciate serious sacred music, particularly hymns.

If you like to learn more about hymns, I’d like to share with you what I’ve learned!

I really like the way you gave the details of the study of your hymnal…I work on the musical hermeneutics of the specific texts and the students are always amazed by the richness of each number…Do continue your research in this field. The people of God respond to Him by singing…’with all our hearts’ and He is glorified, and we are edified!

Your website and your music are a real blessing! I’ve been using your Lyrics and your Hymn Information to create the slides for our worship services. I’ve also been listening to your music and following your YouTube channel. Your work is very impressive and a real blessing!

I’ve been wishing that you would put out a list of hymns that would work for each Sabbath School. Thank you so much. As bulletin secretary, it usually falls on me to choose the hymns for the week. This will greatly speed up my job each week.
I also appreciate your quote of the week. I often use a quote as a filler when there isn’t a lot of announcements. Thank you again!

For many years I did exactly what you promote, I selected hymns based on the adult quarterly lessons for the particular Sabbath I was on as the song director.
I know it was personally meaningful to me to enlarge my understanding of the SS lessons via the hymns I led since I am deeply interested in music of and for the church, hymns, and Hymnology, and I hope the congregants gain the same. Thanks so much!
