Workshop Summaries


Can These Bones Live? Presenter: Dent Davidson from the Diocese of Chicago For church musicians, choir members, clergy, worship leaders, and worship participants.  Just as the Breath of God awakened, enlivened and inspired the Valley of Dry Bones, so the Gift of Song has the capacity to form, connect, unite, and liberate the People of God in our Church today. We will explore the power of song and its deep connection to Congregational Vitality, using resources that range from The Hymnal 1982 to “Paperless Music” to Improvisation. The material is useful for congregations small and large, and very adaptable to unique situations. We will also look at the liturgy as a whole, making this workshop useful (and fun!) for anyone who leads and participates in worship.
