READING AND LEADING
Reading and Leading is a professional development session for those who lead and assist in services of worship. The workshop will include a plenary session on the theology and principles of leading worship, delivered by liturgist and theologian Dr Stephen Burns, together with practical workshops on Reading the Bible in services of worship, and on planning, writing and leading the Prayers of the People (or Intercessions). These two workshops will be especially suitable for those who assist at services of worship in either capacity, whether experienced in doing so or not, and for those who would like to be involved, but feel ill equipped.
Those who have particular roles in leading others in services of worship are offered the opportunity to attend a highly specialised workshop with professional voice coach Elizabeth Woods, covering such areas as engaging the congregation, using your voice to great effect, microphone technique, and top tips for good public speaking and presentation.
Further details about Elizabeth Woods are here: http://www.elizabethwoods.com.au/index.html.
This highly interactive and practical session is limited to ten person only, and will be especially suitable for clergy, authorised lay ministers, parish readers, subdeacons, or those in similar such roles, wanting to upskill in this area (a $50 surcharge per person applies for this workshop only).
