Help us help you.
 What has this choir sang in the last month?
 How many voices do you have?  
Any strong soloists that you intend to feature?  
What instruments will be available to you?

If we have a better feel for what y'all are capable of, we can make better suggestions.  Wouldn't make sense for us to suggest "Total Praise " if you have 3 singers and 2 are alto.  Likewise it wouldn't make sense to suggest "Son of Man" if you only have an organ.

Oh, and welcome to LGM!

I like that kind of set-up.  Having the guitar opens you up for a lot of Israel & The New Breed stuff, if your keyboardist doesn't mind playing in E

  • You Are Good / Friend of God medley

If you have a strong female vocalist, you could consider

  • Like The Dew - Judith Christie McAllister

It's cool for letting the instruments lock in to a nice groove while the soloist interacts with the congregation and the choir catches its breath.

Listen to
  • Get Ready For Your Miracle - Norman Hutchins
  • Stir Up The Gift - Joe Pace
  • The Blessing Of Abraham - Donald Lawrence

Later this month, one of my choirs is going to use the first verse of "God Is Here" - Martha Munizzi, as an introit and "Come Let Us Worship The Lord (In The Beauty Of Holiness)" as a processional.  I think that would work great for a concert.  "Enter In" - Joe Pace would also make a nice introit.

There's a song that my other choir is working on that I think would sound great in a concert setting.  I'm not sure if the name of it is "That's When You Blessed Me" or "Just When I Needed You Most", but those are the phrases that repeat the most.

That's what I have off the top of my head.
