The Leadership Program for Musicians' annual Spring workshop will take
place March 14 at Holy Comforter Episcopal Church, 4819 Monument Avenue
in Richmond. The workshop topic for the morning session is "Discovering
Hidden Gems: Mining the 1982 and ELW Hymnals." Ellen Johnston and Martha
Burford will lead an exploration of the 1982 hymnal, and Kevin Barger
will discuss the ELW hymnal. The presentations will run simultaneously,
and participants may attend either
one.
Registration is at
9 a.m., and the morning session will begin at 9:30 a.m. and run until
11:30 a.m. Noon prayer and a brief presentation on LPM will take place
from 11:30 a.m. until noon. Lunch (included with registration fee) is
noon-1 p.m. From 1-3 p.m. Ellen Johnston and Kevin Barger will lead a
choral music reading session using the music attendees received in their
packets upon registration. The session will focus on anthems
appropriate for choirs with limited resources.
The cost of the
workshop is $60 per person (includes lunch and music packet for reading
session). Those registering after Feb. 22 are not guaranteed a music
packet; if, due to late registration, a music packet is not received,
the registration fee will be reduced to $25/person. Registration forms

and may be mailed to LPM Virginia - c/o Nellwyn Beamon, Church of the
