Worship Workshops provide hands-on training for pastors and laity. Not just inspiration, but skills for worship planning in small congregations. Each workshop builds upon the five strengths of small congregation worship. Topics and formats can be customized for the needs of individual districts and conferences.
If you’re interested in attending or offering a workshop, contact Teresa Stewart at teresa@paperbagcathedrals.com
