Free Stuff Fridays

Free Stuff Fridays

Today is Friday and that means it is time for another Free Stuff Fridays. This week’s sponsor is Seeds Family Worship. “Seeds Family Worship was planted when worship leader, Jason Houser, was asked to write some songs to help kids remember the verses from his church’s summer Bible school. Jason began writing songs and singing them for the kids and families at church. The songs were well-crafted, catchy, and taken straight from scripture. Families liked them… a lot. From just a handful of songs, Seeds Family Worship was planted - providing God’s Word set to music for thousands of families all over the world. We are gladdened by stories of worship times at home, scripture memorized, and object lessons taught using Seeds songs. The fifth Seeds Family Worship album - The Power of Encouragement - has just released. In total, Seeds has grown to 58 portions of scripture set to music!”

Each of the albums features a selection of Scripture passages set to music. There is no word in any of the songs that is not directly drawn from the Bible. Like me, you may be a little suspicious of children’s music, tired of music that is substandard. But in this case, the Seeds music is very well done and, by all accounts, the children really enjoy it (I know my children do!).

Here is a YouTube clip of just one of the songs.

We have five complete sets to give away (meaning that each winner will receive a copy of all five albums). Interestingly, each album includes two CDs, one to keep and one to give to a friend (great idea!).

Rules: You may only enter the draw once. Simply fill out your name and email address to enter the draw. As soon as the winners have been chosen, all names and addresses will be immediately and permanently erased. Winners will be notified by email. The giveaway closes tonight at midnight.

PTL! We have a 17 month old and are on our way to N. Africa long term. This would be awesome!

Okay, I seriously, righteously covet these.

Does that increase my chances? :)

That song on YouTube has a very Rick Altizer feel to it.

Or at least, what he sounded like in the early days. Not as familiar with his more recent work (which interestingly is Scripture memory songs, I think).

I have 4 sons 8, 7, 2, and 1 and have trouble finding material that is suited to all at the same time(other than short scripture readings), but when they watched that video they were glued to the screen. If I don’t win I will definately be getting these next year or so. Thanks for pointing me to them Tim.

The video totally reminded me of a Sanctified SchoolHouse Rock. Hope there’s more coming…

Our family loves this music, with four kids ages 8 through 21. My husband uses it in his second grade class at a Christian school. But it’s not just for kids. It’s some of my favorite music.

I’m newly-married, and totally inspired to have many kids and raise godly generations. Even this morning as I’m sitting in a New Media conference, many speakers spoke of the urgent need to learn how to be godly parents for our kids playing in the relentlessly-changing playground. I’m on the lookout for anything that can increase the odds, so I hope I’ll win this!
