Session Description
Why does music divide us? Why do taste and style preferences get in the way of unity? Why do we fight over elements like drums and drama and liturgy and the organ and vestments and artwork and multi-media? Is there a way to actually use our differences to our benefit rather than letting them polarize and frustrate us? Come and actually design a worship service using “the careful palette of elements” that will prove intergenerational worship is possible! This session is highly engaging, interactive, inspiring, hope-inducing, and unifying!
