Christian Children’s Music Features Hymns

Encourage Faith with “Church Music” That Kids Enjoy

Saint Louis, MO—Concordia Publishing House (CPH) announces the release of two new CDs featuring hymn music for children, Hymns of Faith and Hymns of the Church Year.  Christian music is emphasizing hymns with new collections coming out from a variety of song writers and artists. CPH offers this resource for the very youngest believers in the rich tradition of the Lutheran Church, often called “the singing church.”

Conceptualized as songs for CPH’s Growing in Christ™ Sunday School series, the two CDs were created to help kids grow into a relationship with Jesus Christ and the faith of their Baptism. That growth is encouraged when the children learn the timeless songs of the church found in the hymns.

“Children should know that hymns aren’t just big people music, it’s their music too,” said Deaconess Pamela Nielsen, senior editor at CPH. “It is nice to make the church’s song, their song too. Not someday, but right now.”

Both CDs feature hymns from Lutheran Service Book, sung by children and accompanied by a piano. Hymns of the Church Year help children follow the life of the church and learn a selection of hymns for Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, and Easter.

“Hymns of the Church Year really helps kids appreciate the rich musical heritage of the Lutheran Church,” said Mary Rakoski, Senior Marketing Manager of Curriculum at CPH.

“It is soul stirring,” added Nielsen.
