Songs of Praise?

On the first Thursday of each month we have a meeting that is geared at people who haven't been to SofaChurch, or any church for that matter, before.

We ran a series called Modern Day Prophets where we looked at four unlikely people who might be speaking for God in today's culture, whether they realise it or not. See here for more details:

Banksy
Borat
Scroobius Pip
Mr Benn

However, all good things must come to an end, and our new series starting in June will be called Songs of Praise?

The idea is that each month we will listen to mainsteam songs from a different decade, looking for ways in which they might speak of God. For example... Madonna's Like a Prayer.

Sixties - 5th June
Seventies - 3rd July
Eighties - 7th August
Nineties - 4th September
Noughties - 2nd October

Each evening one person with a special interest will MC, but it would be great if people brought along CDs of tracks that mean something to them. There will be some postcards soon that can be given out to people who might be interested in coming along, or click here to download an image that can be emailed to people.

In the meantime, it would be good to brainstorm a list of songs - please leave your suggestions in a comment for this post.

Two answers

Thanks to everyone who managed to share their ideas. The consensus seems to be that while not everyone personally rates the 'discussion' evenings as their favourite of the four different meeting styles, many do enjoy them and find them challenging and stimulating. Many people cannot attend every week anyway, and some choose the discussion evening as one to skip, others prioritise them. So, I think that we will continue as we are. When it gets to me being on my own discussing quantum mechanics we'll perhaps think again.

As for the slogan, I think we'll go for it.
