I don't know about you but I can always use some
simple offertory ideas!
The following offertory idea would work great for
two pianos or piano and organ.
Some hymns lend themselves to a 'question-answer'
format.
For example, A Shelter in the Time of Storm.....
Piano One plays the first sentence:
"The Lord's our Rock in Him we hide"
Piano Two answers with:
"A Shelter in the time of storm"
Piano One:
"Secure whatever ill betide"
Piano Two:
"A shelter in the time of storm."
Both pianos join together on the chorus!
You'll have to try this....it's a lot of fun and
creates a stereo effect.
Try this offertory idea with other question/answer
hymns such as:
Revive Us Again
Power in the Blood
Throw Out the Lifeline
Jesus Saves
Nothing but the Blood of Jesus

Great idea! And thanks for sharing it. My wife usually plays piano for our services. I fill in when needed, but I'm not as skilled as she is. However, I think we could practice a number or two for offertories that used both piano and organ. I like it!
My daily blog, Wordwise Hymns, is about the background of our hymns and their authors. As a musician, I think you might enjoy taking a look. God bless.
