Music that Makes Community presenters The Rev. Liesl Spitz and Executive Director Conie Borchardt will be leading a Singing in Community Residency as part of a monthly series on "Building Communities of Mutual Care" The Lay School of Ministry of the Northwest Synod of Wisconsin (ELCA) starting Friday evening, October 11 and concluding at noon on Saturday, October 12.   

No special talents required - just a love of music and fellowship. Singers of all backgrounds, ages, and experience levels are warmly welcomed to participate!  

The two-part residency begins on Friday evening with a Community SING from 7-9:30 p.m. at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin (link).  A Half-Day Workshop on Saturday morning, October 12, from 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon concludes the residency. The two events together will offer experiences of paperless singing in community and introduce the leadership practices and repertoire of Music that Makes Community with the intention to 1) support the creation of spaces of trust, listening, and communication through singing and 2) to introduce the basic skills for leading congregational song.

Each person will leave with new music to share, as well as experiences of learning and teaching songs applicable to their context. Choir directors, clergy, cantors, lay leaders, and all who love to sing are warmly welcomed.
