All Creation Sings: An Introduction
Deacon John Weit, ELCA Director of Worship
https://www.facebook.com/christlutheranchurchsoldotna
This workshop will explore the new worship and song supplement to Evangelical Lutheran Worship. All Creation Sings brings together a wide range of cultural, ethnic, generational, and theological perspectives in its liturgical settings and two hundred hymns and songs. Several of these hymns fall under the headings of creation, lament, justice and society, and healing and wholeness, areas determined to be especially worthy of additional hymns and songs after research within the ELCA. Whether you already use ACS in your context or are curious about its contents, come and learn about the development of this resource and sing together some of the liturgical music and assembly song.
