Liturgical Workshop
July 7-9, 2023
Hosted by Jon Ailabouni, Pastor Melissa Bills, Brooke Joyce, and Kathryn Thompson, with support from the Marilyn Roverud Fellowship in Lutheran Studies.
Liturgy Lab is a weekend worship retreat for clergy, musicians, and lay leaders. Focused on exploring creativity in the worship arts, this event will include presentations, workshops, and opportunities for the hands-on creation of worship elements. The weekend culminates in a collaborative worship service crafted from our weekend’s creative work. Participants are encouraged to bring musical instruments, journals, favorite creative supplies, and favorite books of poetry, liturgy, or other worship resources.
