Gabe,

If it happens to be an Episcopal or Anglican Church and you expect to be 
playing from a hymnal there are a number of hymn tunes written or arranged 
by Vaughan Williams. one of them, the hymn tune "The Call", was recorded 
(solo) by Doug Yeo with piano accompaniment in the Nick Hudson - Doug Yeo 
album "Two of a Mind". I have done several of them in church on tenor with 
organ. The hymn tune "Sine Nomine" would be particulary good for tenor and 
bass (IMHO). You would need to get hold of the accompaniment edition of the 
hymnal to develop your arrangements as the pew edition, more often than not, 
only has the melody line.
