- well known rousing hymns (especially for starting and finsihing the service)
- 20th century songs - e.g. Graham Kendrick
- songs as up to the minute as we can manage
- children's songs
- metrical versions of the psalms
Of course what is in our hymn books / serivce books is an influence. I reckon one extra song sheet per service is enough! A screen and Powerpoint would certainly help.
You might also want songs that perform certain liturgical functions of fit in certain parts of the service:
- praise
- thanksgiving
- confession
- creed
- offering
- preparation for Word of God or Communion
- response
- prayer
- etc.
