New Feature: Make Your Pianist Happy
Some worship leaders use chords (G C D Em) while others use actual notes (clefs, dotted-quarters, rests). You may find it very useful to provide lead sheets to your pianist and vocalists who read music. Featured Artist JW has agreed to help support your ministry by creating lead sheets for you for free. This is a limited service. So if you have interest, please use the Contact page to make a Lead Sheet Request.
