Intergenerational Worship:  The Work of ALL People 
with Rev. Breen Sipes

What if it is possible to include, involve, and engage all generations, both in worship and in worship leadership? What if worship leadership could be reframed as a generous out-pouring of God’s generosity toward us? And what if it’s not as hard as it sounds? Join Breen Sipes, Music that Makes Community facilitator and ELCA Lutheran pastor, for an interactive pop-up worship experience where all people are essential to the worship of God, a deep dive into what makes these experiences both possible and essential, and time to discuss how to bring these experiences into your context.
