UMC Caroling Booklet

[Haruo]

The Methodists just put up this year's link to . You can print as many copies as you need, five sheets 2-sided, center-stapled to make a nice 20-page booklet of words with suggested keys and first notes (no music, but most if not all the songs are to tunes everybody at least vaguely knows).

Here's the songlist, with page numbers from the UM Hymnal (1989) and in the booklet itself:

Cool!

A "words-only" hymn (carol) book. Neat.

For what it is, I think it's the best I've seen. You could even print it on plastic sheets so the caroling party wouldn't ruin the booklets in the rain.
