Two new pieces for next year

God is One, Unique and Holy  Wonderful Brian Wren lyrics with a beautiful guitar accompaniment to the Gary Daigle music.  I'm thinking it would be beautiful for Trinity Sunday

The Water of Life  An upbeat celebration of baptism by Marty Haugen.  It would be ideal for Baptism of the Lord in January.
