​Resources for Soul Matters Musicians
​

​
We offer six sources of support for musicians:

1. Monthly Worship Packet
Our monthly worship packets share a variety of hymn and choral suggestions on the monthly theme. 

2. Monthly Online Brainstorming Calls
Each month music leaders gather online to brainstorm together and share ideas for implementing upcoming themes. These meetings occur on the first Tuesdays of each month at 6pm eastern using this zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5857099120.  No pre-registration necessary. Just come as you are able.

3. Soul Matters Music Support Facebook Page: 
This support page is for on-going sharing among Soul Matters musicians. If you come across a great piece of music during the month, please post and share it with your fellow Soul Matters musicians and worship teams. If you need some ideas, just post your requests and your Soul Matters partners will be there for support. Click here to visit the page. 

4. Soul Matters Worship Support Facebook Page

5. Soul Matters Music Playlists
These playlists are design to support the personal devotion and reflection of our small group members, but they can be a helpful source of ideas for contemporary and popular music. We create two different playlists each month: a Spotify playlist and a YouTube playlist.   

6. AUUMM (Association for UU Music Ministries) Online Database
And last but not least, the wonderful leadership of the AUUMM have added our monthly themes to the AUUMM music database. This provides a central place for Soul Matters musicians to post and share music ideas. It also allows you to tap into suggestions from other UU musicians from around the country. Here are some more details about how to access, navigate and contribute to the database:

• Access the AUUMM Music Database using this link: www.auumm.org/page/database 
• You can search by theme, instrumentation, voicing, difficulty, plus many more parameters. You can use the database’s Filter, Group, and Sort functions (in white banner near the top of the database) to find the perfect piece for your themed worship.
• Only AUUMM members can submit songs to add to the AUUMM Music Database. So we encourage you to join. For information about becoming a AUUMM member, click here.
