Christmas Resource Bundle

Our Christmas resource bundle includes various resources and guides to help you plan and execute awesome services over the month of December, including Christmas weekend. Here’s what you’re getting…

MULTITRACKS AND CHORD CHARTS

We’ve recorded very simple acoustic arrangements of three classic Christmas songs available in both male and female led keys (see below for key information:

• O Come O Come Emmanuel (available in Am and Em)
• O Holy Night (available in C and F)
• Silent Night (available in A and D)

Here are the samples of the Multitracks:

Each Multitrack package includes the following stems: Click/Cue track, Pads track. We kept these arrangements very simple to allow you to use them in a full band context, or as a solo musician.

The Chord Charts match the arrangements we recorded for the songs, and are available in multiple keys.

VOLUNTEER CARE GUIDE (PDF DOC)

The Christmas season is busy, and for church staff it can be especially stressful. At Christmas we have more opportunity to reach the lost than any other time of the year, and we therefore feel enormous pressure to create the best worship environments we possibly can. To pull off these amazing services, we rely on our amazing volunteers more than ever.

This guide is meant to help us as church leaders understand how to care for and honor our volunteers during this busy time. We must remember that our volunteers are people that God has placed under our pastoral care, not just tools to pull off an amazing weekend.
