Music in the church: Three questions we all need to wrestle with

• How can I encourage the whole congregation to sing with all their heart?
• How should I choose what to sing?
• How has the contemporary culture of expressive individualism impacted corporate worship?

Join Emu Music at Oak Hill College for an evening of biblical reflection, thoughtful discussion and practical steps on key issues shaping evangelical worship on Wednesday 7th May from 7.30-9.30pm.

This event is for church leaders, members and especially those who lead and participate in leading music in their churches.

We’ll have a chance for Q+A and to listen to some songs from the team as we reflect and learn together more about how to lead and participate in corporate sung worship.
