Nations in Praise Ensemble meeting

The Nations in Praise Ensemble (NIPE) is a diverse group of people from a variety of churches who have made a commiment to meet for the purpose of worshipping together. Each time we meet we worship using one or more ethnic styles. The meeting in the video below featured African American and Korean. This is an excellent place for hands on training in multi-ethnic training. If you are interested in learning how to worship in a multi-ethnic setting, plan to join us for our next NIPE meeting schedued for the House of Blues on September 19th.

"racial reconciliation in every Southern Baptist church"

...is called for by Daniel Akin, President of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. (See Axiom 6 here).

“We must pursue a vision for our churches that looks like heaven…. Yes, we must
go around the world to reach Asians and Europeans, the Africans and the South
Americans. But we must also go across the street, down the road and into every
corner of our local mission field where God, in grace, has brought the nations
to us.”

GREAT Spanish-English Worship Help!

On Saturday, March 14, from 9am-3pm we will have the opportunity to share in a worship workshop with Josh Davis from Proskuneo Ministries (www.proskuneo.info).

It will take place in the Music School of Southwestern Baptist Seminary (room 200); Ft Worth, TX. The cost is $10 per person.

Brother Davis has great experience in multicultural music ministry. This will be of great help to any Hispanic or bi-lingual church. Since getting to know him at a Multicultural Worship Conference, I have been impressed with his dynamic spirit and his servant's heart.

Please promote this workshop among your churches, and especially among worshipers and music leaders. I am sure that it will be a great blessing.

Some of the themes of the workshop are:
· Techniques for improving music ministry and worship teams
· Worship Songwriting 101
· Biblical, Music, and Worship Conversations
· Practical tips for congregational involvement in worship
