Spirit-Led Teamwork: The Art of Worship Planning
March 14 - 15, 2025
Westminster Presbyterian Church
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Join us for an inspiring workshop at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Minneapolis on March 14-15, 2025. This event is designed for clergy, musicians, audio-visual staff, and church leaders, focusing on collaborative worship planning through the lens of preparing for Pentecost—a vital festival that often gets overlooked after the busy Easter season.
Connect with fellow attendees in interactive sessions that will equip you with fresh ideas and practical tools for Pentecost Sunday. Experience evening prayer, morning prayer, and closing worship, designed to rejuvenate you just before the bustling Holy Week and Easter.
Leave with renewed inspiration and enhanced skills for better collaboration and communication in the worship planning process. Don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen your team and celebrate the Spirit together!
