This worship style has been made popular by churches such as Willow Creek, Saddleback Valley, and Community Church of Joy.A unique mix in terms of music styles with theological depth, Come Celebrate! Songbook 1 contains approximately 90 selections for churches wanting quality contemporary worship. Many of the songs, selected by the compiler especially with a view to their theology, have been tested by her, and other local church worship services in the Minneapolis area and in national workshops.This useful collection of contemporary worship materials is available in two editions: (1) a Full Edition ( to be used by the worship leader and the accompanist), and (2) a Words Only Edition, affordable enough to be used by individual choir members or others performing the music but not needing the musical notes.
