SUMMARY:Sing a New Song
DESCRIPTION:Join QLC to engage in music ministry and the “musicality of ministry” with Nate Macy & Melinda Wenner Bradley @ ESR in Richmond IN.  \n\n\n\nRegister & find out more information  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us as we come together to discern how we are being called to follow the biblical & spiritual imperative to “sing a new song” – whether literally or metaphorically. Through keynotes\, workshops\, worship\, singing\, and small groups we will listen for the songs rising in our hearts and from the divine heart. We will consider practical wisdom for music ministry as well as spiritual wisdom about the “musicality of ministry.” Whether you are a musician\, worship leader\, or non-musical Friend\, you will benefit from our time together. \n\n\n\nMore info is forthcoming! \n\n\n\nNOTE: If you need scholarship assistance\, please email to stanlde1@earlham.edu.
