Summertime and the Living Is Worship Rich
June 20, 2017
It’s summertime and that means lazy, hazy days of beach vacations and mountain getaways, but it’s also the busy church conference season. It’s a great time for worship leaders and worshipers to connect and plug into a broad spectrum of events nationwide. Conferences provide an ideal environment for rejuvenation, inspiration, and education.
One of the best things about summer conferences is the chance to catch up with old friends and make new ones while exchanging innovative ideas and receiving training to hone your leadership skills.
If you haven’t made plans yet to attend a conference near you, there’s still time. There are several sites that provide information on summer conferences, including ShareFaith. Here are a few to consider, depending on your region, denomination and specific interest:
