Are your cantors or choir members in need of training on the basics of the ministry? Could your lectors or extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion use a "refresher" course or a day of reflection? Board Members of the Scranton Chapter of the National Association of Pastoral Musicians are here to help and are willing to travel to provide a workshop or session for your parish ministers.  Some potential topics include:

• Choir Basics: Making the Most of Out of What You’ve Got
• The Body of Christ: Our Identity and Purpose
• Reading vs. Proclaiming: The Role of the Lector
• Fostering Sung Prayer: Synchronizing the Organist, Cantor, Choir and Assembly
• Not Just a Pretty Voice: The Cantor as a Leader of Prayer

Please contact David Baloga at 570-207-2213, ext. 1158 or at David-Baloga@dioceseofscranton.org to discuss how we can help address your parish’s needs.
