Songfest 2023 is coming to Withamsville Church of Christ on Wednesday, Oct. 18 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the church auditorium. We are excited to welcome Keith Lancaster, who will lead this song celebration.
Known worldwide for his work with the singing group Acappella, Keith Lancaster is serving a critical need in God’s kingdom as a “musicianary.” Working to equip congregations for excellence in worship, Keith trains leaders and invites all of God’s people to sing.
There is no charge for this event, but we do ask that you register. No childcare available, but an unstaffed nursery is available for children if needed. There will be a kid’s activity bag for children 10 and under.
Why Hold SongFest?
- To help churches greatly improve their singing and worship.
- To emphasize acapella congregational singing.
- To encourage full participation by all members.
- To teach four-part harmony.
Keith Lancaster – “Musicianary”
Keith’s Philosophy
One of the things that sets Keith’s ministry apart is how he encourages all of God’s people to sing. God loves and wants to hear each of our voices – and He is glorified when we joyfully give thanks to Him in song with 100% participation. Through this Songfest, Keith will help all of us – regardless of musical ability – to connect with the God of the universe in song.
“Singing isn’t
for singers … singing is for believers!”
