Subject: [Dixielandjazz] Hymns at a church service

My band has been asked to play at a local Lutheran church on All Saints Day (Nov 04). Along with When The Saints we will be playing all of the other music for the service as well. I am trying to identify hymns in their hymnal or other well known hymns that will work in a trad jazz style that the congregation can sing along with. I have identified What a Friend We Have in Jesus and Just a Closer Walk With Thee. Unfortunately I am drawing blanks beyond that.

We also need lesser known tunes or tunes that don't work as well for the singing to be played during the prelude. I see This World is Not my Home and Just A Little While to Stay Here as working well there.

Any other thoughts, input or suggestions will be greatly appreciated,
