Teaching Kids Worship through Sign Language  

In previous years this workshop helped many to engage children and youth in experiencing a different way to engage in songs of worship. An opportunity to experience God in a beautiful and expressive way is the focus of the workshop. Participants will leave with a package of resources to help continue to learn and teach songs and Bible verses to help children and youth engage in continuous learning.

Mental Health and Self Care Using Scriptures Prayer and Worship Songs  

Covid 19 taught us many things on how to look after ourselves physically but how many of us went through the emotional mental and spiritual turmoil that came along from being isolated from family members church family and friends. This workshop will help us together to see through that lens of how God can connect with us through His Word and songs and hymns that we sing in our worship service that bring healing and peace to our souls. A practical way to bring ourselves and others into the presence of God in a beautiful way.
