Every week congregations sing songs old and new, but rarely think about where they come from.

In this workshop, moderator Greg Scheer talks to Miranda Dodson, Graham Kendrick, Glenn Packiam, three songwriters, about their writing process, the contexts for which they write, and the things that inspire and challenge them. Join us as we learn from these seasoned songwriters and gain a deeper appreciation of the songs we sing.

Panelists will discuss ways to intentionally create intergenerational community in which people of all ages, including children, are welcomed as full participants whose participation enriches the community and gives praise to God.
