<div>Hi everyone,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Randall suggested that there might be some legal requirements for me to
cite musical selections and hymns in the order of service. So I Googled a bit,
and came up with this: <a title="https://www.ucc.org/copyright-compliance-basics-for-churches/" href="https://www.ucc.org/copyright-compliance-basics-for-churches/" target="_blank">https://www.ucc.org/copyright-compliance-basics-for-churches/</a></div>

<div>YIKES. Looks like we can sing hymns, but we can’t type up lyrics in
the OOS or for on screen, or for streaming/Facebook. We should not be showing
YouTube videos during service. And while the choir can perform a song, that
doesn’t mean we can post it on YouTube for rebroadcast (which seems
CRAZY). Reading complete poems or long excerpts from books requires permission
from the copyright owner—especially if the service is being streamed or
recorded. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>And posting photos on our website requires PERMISSION from everyone in
every image!!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Man, oh man. I encourage you to spend some time on that website and discuss
among yourselves. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regarding citations in the OOS: It’s a good idea to be thorough, but I
couldn’t find any legal requirements. (Like, do I need to credit the arranger?
The person who wrote the harmony? I don’t think so.)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>FYI. Sorry to complicate things. </div>
