Song Leading Workshop
Song Leading Workshop
With Boyd King
What is this?
We have organized a full day of lessons to provide a foundation in the basic technical skills required to be an effective song leader. However, our focus goes beyond the technical aspects. We aim to delve into the primary purpose of song leaders and explore how we can lead the congregation more effectively as worship leaders, going beyond merely starting songs.
Who is this for?
For the workshop, we are specifically targeting the men at Cedar Park church of Christ of different ages and skill levels. If you plan to attend we ask that you please sign up here for the event.
Having said that, we extend an invitation to the entire congregation to join us for a singing at 5:00 PM. Let us encourage one another and provide the men with an opportunity to share and practice what they have learned throughout the day.
