Every December we hold a special evening service called the Good Shepherd Band Christmas Sing-A-Long. It’s a night for pulling out the stops in celebration of the Incarnation of our Lord. A contemporary take on the traditional Lessons and Carols service.
This year being the 5th annual, we thought it was time to take our favorite Sing-A-Long arrangements and put them to record. Start to finish, this album was produced in-house by us. That is, down the hall, in the Sunday School rooms. Many thanks to all the wonderful folks who gave of their time to make this record possible. God bless, and merry Christmas!

Several favorite hymns, old and new, on this album. I've especially appreciated how this album has introduced my children to some of the old hymns of the faith. Daniel Meyer
