Ralph,

I have done quite a bit of playing in churches and write most of my  
own material.  Let me suggest that you try some of my arrangements.   
For example:

1. Christe Sanctorum Variants  (trombone and organ/piano)

2. Reverie on a Theme of Robert Schumann (trombone and piano/organ) -  
theme is a well-known hymn tune.

3. Three Hymns (trombone and piano)  - includes "Come, Thou, Almighty  
King," "For the Beauty of the Earth," and "Oh, Worship the King."

All of these are available from Brassworks4 Publishing
www.brassworks4.com

I have also done many other compositions and arrangements suitable  
for church use (e.g. "3 Hymns of Thanksgiving") for various brass  
trios, quartets, quintets, etc. available from various publishers.  I  
even did one for SATB choir and solo horn or trombone.  See my webpage:

Good luck.
