Join me for a weekend residency in Cincinnati, Ohio from May 20-22! We'll SING sacred music from diverse cultures and traditions, EXPLORE leadership practices that encourage and animate congregational singing, and REFLECT on ways that worship can be life-giving, inclusive, and prophetic.

Sponsored by Carthage Christian Church (DOC), churches and individuals from the area are invited to attend one or all of the events. The cost is $50 per church and you are welcome to bring as large a group as you like from your congregation. No one will be turned away for financial reasons.

All are encouraged to attend, regardless of musical/vocal experience or training, including musicians, clergy, congregants, students and lay leaders.
