Let’s Get Real (Leading with Authenticity) - We’ll explore what it means to worship “in Spirit and in Truth” and lead from a place of genuineness. This not only helps us connect with the One we worship, but with those whom we lead. We’ll also discuss praise team “best practices” as well as vocal technique and care. (Thursday, 2:30 p.m., Friday, 8:45 a.m. & 2:30 p.m.) LEADER, Mike Haight / Choir Room
