Thanks to YouTube.com, some of the music that the congregation of the Church of the Redeemer in Morristown has heard on Sunday morning also has been heard and seen in more than 25 states around the United States as well as Mexico, Manila, Germany, France, Italy, England, Bangkook and Hong Kong.

With an idea and a camcorder, Redeemer's Music Director and Organist Wayne Burcham-Gulotta thought, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." So he recorded the first video in July and uploaded it to YouTube. 

"The reaction from the congregation and others was immediate, positive and very supportive," he said. "Former congregants scattered across the U.S. and beyond were especially delighted to see the music happening at Redeemer." 

In a little more than 12 weeks, there have been 13,000-plus hits (views) of Redeemer's music.  To see for yourself, visit www.YouTube.com; in the search box at the top, put  "Redeemer Morristown," and it will bring up everything to date.
