‘All Nations Sing’ workshop
May 4 | 1:00 pm – 4:30 pm
LCMS All Nations Ministry is hosting an “All Nations Sing!” workshop on Monday, May 4, from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis.
With an emphasis on music sung in English, Chinese, and Spanish, this event is a pre‑convention workshop of the Multiethnic Symposium of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. It’s also a celebration of 90 years of LCMS Chinese ministry and 100 years of Hispanic Ministry in the United States in 2026.
The 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.
Schedule
- Discover from 1:30-3 p.m. — Hear introductions to other attendees and to a variety of Spanish and Chinese “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.
