I wish they would do that. I loathe "praise" music, but unfortunately, the electric guitar and drums have chased the organ and choir out of most churches today.
Then there are the liturgical churches that use a common lectionary so that the same scripture, especially the Gospel, is used at all churches everywhere. It has one theme but a selection of OT and Epistle readings, and one Gospel reading for that Sunday. They all publish a hymn guide with a variety of hymns for each Sunday that go along with the theme/readings. Much of Christendom hears the same Gospel throughout the world.

I welcome the change. As long as the lyrics are biblical, I’m for it.
You and me both.
That’s what keeps me from going to church. The music is way too loud and boringly repetitive. I’ve tried, really tried, but I can’t take it.
