In a couple of weeks, Dr. Teresa Hairston (Gospel Today) will be hosting her annual Gospel Heritage Praise & Worship Conference in Jacksonville, FL. It’s gonna be a two-day event that you do NOT wanna miss, featuring worship services, musical offerings, workshops and panels that’ll inspire, encourage and equip you.
Check out the flyers below to see just a SAMPLE of some of the folks participating– from Donnie McClurkin, Hezekiah Walker and Kirk Franklin to Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Jonathan Nelson and Paul Morton… on and on and on.
During the conference, I’ll be speaking on two panels geared toward young adults (peep my lil’ photo on the second flyer, top right… LOL). One panel discussion will focus on what the “new” music industry looks like, the other talks about careers opps in that new music industry. My panel peers will include some of the best and brightest in the gospel game and I’m excited to be a part of it.
Anyone ever attended one of the annual conferences? Anyone planning to attend THIS one? Talk to me!
