Saturday Sharing

▲ In this turbulent time, one thing we as church musicians can do is use music that gives congregants the chance to channel their feelings into community singing. We know the power of music to move and soothe us. What powerful songs have people used in the past? What songs are you leaning into today?

Hymn writers Adam Tice, Ana Hernández, and Hannah Brown will join Ruth Striegel for a Saturday Sharing about the work they do to bring light to our hurting world. Come and be a part of the conversation!

SATURDAY SHARING RECORDINGS

▲ Saturday Sharing is a series of free, once-a-month, one hour conversations on topics of interest to church musicians and others. Open to all. Stay tuned for upcoming conversations in 2025.
