Inspiring Music in Worship online – for course facilitators

A five week course introducing Inspiring Music in Worship to those who might facilitate the course in their own church. Led by the author, Revd Helen Bent (RSCM Head of Ministerial Training in partnership with Praxis), the course takes place on five Monday evenings:

Monday 18 January – 19.00-21.00 (GMT)
Monday 25 January – 19.00-21.00 (GMT)
Monday 1 February – 19.00-21.00 (GMT)
Monday 8 February – 19.00-21.00 (GMT)
Monday 15 February – 19.00-21.00 (GMT)

The fee for the five sessions is £50 (RSCM members) / £60 (non-members) per person, including a single copy of Inspiring Music in Worship (a code to use on the RSCM webshop is provided on booking; postage and packaging is free for those in the UK).

Inspiring Music in Worship could be just what is needed to harness the creative flexibility and imagination that has been generated through worshipping under Covid-19 restrictions. Are you asking some of the following questions, as you look to the future?

How does our worship need to look when Covid-19 is over?
How do we avoid a slide back into the “same old same old” and embrace healthy ongoing change and development?
How can we intentionally inspire and refresh congregational singing after a long abstinence?
How can we shape the ‘new normal’ to include both face-to-face and virtual expressions of worship?
What can we be doing now to pave the way for the ‘new normal’?

This five-session online course during January and early February is for potential group facilitators to become familiar with the IMiW material and how to use it with their own church in our present situation. It could then provide an imaginative alternative course for Lent to share with the choir, the music group, or the whole congregation.

IMiW itself is a conversational tool for everyone, not only musicians, using guided discussions, Bible readings and tasks to help to explore differences of tradition and style with honesty and mutual respect. Everyone has valid views and experiences, which increase ownership and make the ongoing journey of worship into an exciting adventure.
