I think we're going to sing "Give Me Something to Sing About." So far, my plan is to have 2 women who can actually sing in the front, singing, while we project Buffy onto a big screen. They can set the pace because the song changes tempo a lot. I'm going to hand out the lyrics so others can sing along. I'm still waiting to see if I can get a guitar player to sing the Firefly theme. I've decided all the words and music are going to come from Joss's shows. We're a very liberal church, but luckily, our leaders don't get burned at the stake anymore.

You're welcome. I just wanted to make sure I didn't forget about it. That's got to be the coolest church in the world if you can get the congregation to sing Life's a Show.

Hey, thanks for posting this, with shiny graphics and all. I'm behind on everything! I'm working on the music for the service now. I'm hoping to get someone to sing the Firefly theme with guitar. In lieu of a hymn, maybe I can get the congregation to sing the relevant Buffy song from OMWF. I'm open to any suggestions!
