This is another example of a Sunday Psalm for congregational singing that is an alternative to Respond and Acclaim from OCP. This psalm was written by Joe Higginbotham and is published by International Liturgy Publications. It has a catchy refrain tune, and you can hear the congregation singing in this live recording of Carly York.
Fostering Creativity through Music & Education:
Curiosity created Carly York. From her earliest childhood memories, Carly recalls reading books at every possible chance. In junior high school, her favorite event of the year was the public library’s used book sale. It is no wonder that Dr. York pursued this love of learning to earn multiple degrees and professional certifications throughout her career, including a Doctorate Degree in Education Leadership at Seton Hall University.
Creativity and spirituality called Carly to center stage. Early success in music performance propelled her professional career, helping her to earn both college and graduate school music scholarships. She began performing as a professional church soloist in Washington, DC, at age 18, eventually earning more prominent positions as a Choral Section Leader and Youth Choir Director during her graduate school days at the Catholic University of America. After earning her first Masters degree, Carly was privileged to be a K-12 Music teacher at International Schools in Beijing, China; Zurich, Switzerland; and eventually the United Nations International School in New York City. More than 25 years later, Carly is still working in Church ministry. Now she is sharing her management skills and experiences with churches to help them further their missions with magnetic messaging. Visit www.CreativeChurchCommunications.com .
