Forming Hearts, Creating Art Report
The Forming Hearts, Creating Art Conference day is behind us! It was a great day! Eighty worship ministry leaders and students came together to interact around several themes throughout the day. Our primary focus points were the biblical understanding of worship, developing musical skills, and the relationship of pastor and worship leader. Excellent leadership was provided in each area by Bruce Leafblad, Paul Salamunovich, Denny Bellesi, and Monty Kelso. Below are some quotes from conference attendees:
My favorite part of the conference was...
- Being refreshed & renewed, refocused, and being prayed for by others.
- New truths on worship
- I really appreciated Bruce’s talks about worship and all it entails. It was great being with our whole worship group from our church & being united in sharing this experience.
- The opening and closing worship time!
- I have a renewed desire to find the ministry God has for me now. God was here!
Next year we are planning another Forming Hearts, Creating Art Conference on February 16th, 2008. Put it on your calendar now!
