Workshop – Music
-
Making Music in Unusual Times — Elisabeth Cherland
What do lonely and anxious college students at a Lutheran college in Minnesota have to teach us about community and music? So very much.
This workshop will have three parts. I’ll begin by sharing stories of disruption and grace from teaching music and conducting choirs during a pandemic and a time of racial reckoning. Next, I’ll talk about paperless music and its power to deepen community and bring our bodies, minds, and hearts together even across divisions. Finally, we’ll sing – both alone and together – and explore paperless music. This session will send you with resources (some new and some you may already have) for finding this music, and techniques on how to best lead it in worship and other contexts.
Workshop – Prayer

Prayers of the People, for the People — Maylanne Maybee
This session will explore both the spirituality of intercession and the form of the Prayers of the People in which intercession is offered. What are your favourite DOs and DON’Ts when it comes to the Prayers of the People? Who offers the prayers, to whom, for what, and how? This is an opportunity to share what you are learning during the pandemic about how to effectively engage others in leading and offering prayers.
Maylanne Maybee is a deacon serving at St. George’s Anglican Church in Montreal. She is principal of the United Theological College within the Montreal School of Theology, and is a member of the Joint Anglican-Lutheran Commission.

"Disruption AS Grace"
Dr. Farwell’s keynote for us will draw together the emergent learnings of the conference in a reflection on “Disruption AS Grace” – on the essential dynamics of tradition and change, holding fast and letting go, being rooted and travelling light, and the importance of these dynamics in theology and practice for those who follow Jesus toward the reign of God.
