Music and Worship Workshop with John Bell

Goshen College and Credo Chamber Music Association will hold a one-day workshop featuring John Bell of the Iona Community in Scotland. The focus will be on all of God's people: *All God's People Sing! It is regrettable that some of God's people don't sing. Much of John Bell's work is in convincing people that they can sing, irrespective of their background and perceived ability to make music. In this experiential workshop he illustrates techniques and offers insights into how all of God's people can sing a new song to their Maker! *Singing All God's Music - Twenty-first-century Christians, if they are truly contemporary, should have within their worship some indication that they belong to an international community. If they only sing songs from our own land, they end up in danger of worshiping a national idol rather than the universal God. Through stories, prayers, and much three- and four-part singing, John Bell shows how the music of the world church is accessible to congregations in the "developed" nations and can enrich their experience of worship. Call 574 535-7361 for reservations. Cost is $30.
