Singing (Congregational)

CONGREGATIONAL SINGING

Acappela singing (singing without instrumental accompaniment) is experiencing a revival today. Its beauty is not only the sound which is so pleasing to our ears, it is a powerful avenue to express our joy (James 5:13), to encourage one another, and to verbalize our feelings and our praise to God (Ephesians 5:19). It is often the simplest things in life which are the most powerful, isn’t it?

One of the strengths of our Woodland Oaks family is our congregational singing. We have outstanding song leaders who direct us in heartfelt worship in song.

Visitors to our assembly often ask if we have recordings of our singing available. Below is an audio player which will provide you the opportunity to enjoy songs from some of our Sunday assemblies. Our latest recording project (songs 600-611 below) was recorded during our Sunday September 8, 2019 morning worship service with over 522 in attendance. CDs from all six of our recording projects are avaible for free in our Welcome Center. We invite you to select some of the songs and sing along with us. 

We hope that you will visit us and experience first-hand the joy of worshipping our Lord together with Christians who love to sing.

These songs are made available due to the dedicated work of one of our song leaders, R.J. “Sonny” Taylor. Since his retirement from a major oil company, Sonny has dedicated himself to improving and preserving congregational singing. Since 1986 he has logged more than 400,000 miles in travels, searching out the authors and stories behind the hymns we sing. This “Grass Roots Hymnology” has lead to the writing and publishing of several books on hymn stories.

Taylor Publications was established in 1988 to promote and distribute these hymn story products, but as time and opportunity presented itself, it was expanded to include other products related to church music and worship. Offerings include a wide variety of acappela songbooks, paperless hymnals and software for songs ranging from traditional hymns to the most recent praise songs.The objective has always been to improve and preserve congregational singing.
