We're excited to gather at Cross Roads again for a three-day retreat focused on congregational song leading skills! A dynamic team of MMC presenters will lead worship, workshops, and conversation to help you add the valuable tool of paperless song leading to your community’s singing practice. Learn practical skills and diverse repertoire, and explore how paperless music can enrich and expand your congregation's repertoire of sung prayer and praise. This year's event will feature two tracks - one for individuals new to the practice, and another for prior participants seeking to deepen their leadership skills.

Take a look at photos from last year's gathering!

The three-day workshop begins at 10 am on Monday, October 15 and ends with lunch on Wednesday, October 17. Attendees will have the option at registration to check in early on Sunday, October 14. Otherwise check in begins at 9 am on Monday, October 15.
