Virtual Hearts Hands Voices Workshop

Worship Solutions that Respond to COVID-19 Challenges

Mark Johanson and a team of other church musicians from the Charlotte, North Carolina, area have put together a helpful series of videos explaining the work they’re doing to respond to worship challenges created by the pandemic. We hope these videos will be of help to others serving congregations and leading the people’s song during this time.

The videos are included in one playlist on ALCM’s YouTube channel and appear in the following order:
