Sponsored by Gate Communications, a PCRID member. "People worship to find connection, yet worship interpreters are often disconnected with the music, the artists, the environment, and even with the God they are supposedly worshiping as they sign. Bringing WORSHIP to Life TOO is the 6th workshop in our BSL series, and part 2 of our worship series. This workshop teaches attendees creative ideas for glossing and performance while touching on additional characteristics of great worship interpreters. If you want to be great at WORSHIP, this is the workshop for you!" More info linked here.
