‘All Nations Sing’ workshop — Los Angeles area
July 27 All day
LCMS All Nations Ministry is hosting an “All Nations Sing” workshop on Monday, July 27, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Santa Ana, Calif.
With an emphasis on music sung in English and Spanish, this event is a pre‑convention workshop of the VIII National Hispanic Convention LCMS. It is also being offered in celebration of 100 years of Hispanic Ministry in the United States in 2026.
The free workshop is designed to help people expand their repertoire of beloved and useful hymns and songs from different languages and heritages.
Every week, LCMS churches across the United States gather for the Divine Service in a wide range of languages — English, Spanish, Amharic, Nuer, Oromo, Chinese, Korean, Hmong, French Creole, Arabic, Vietnamese, Tamil and more.
Explore beloved musical repertoire from these diverse ministries. Presentations provide both musical insight and practical guidance for integrating this repertoire into congregational life, worship and outreach.
Participants are encouraged to bring their instruments and join an interactive music lab, where the emphasis is on singing, playing and arranging music together. When presented as a pre‑conference event, All Nations Sing allows select musicians identified by the conference to rehearse and prepare repertoire in advance, enhancing both the workshop itself and the conference that follows.
Schedule
- Discover from 1 to 3 p.m. — Hear introductions to other attendees and to a variety of Spanish “psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs” (Col 3:16). This session also features presentations/discussions about various strategies for making music as churches of many languages and cultures.
