United Adoration Songwriting Retreat - April 30, 2020

The ADGL will be blessed at Synod, once again, by the opportunity to participate in a Songwriting Retreat hosted by United Adoration at Heartland Church. Come early to Synod, and be refreshed by Holy Spirit, as new songs flow in our midst.

Note: Registration for the UA Songwriting Retreat is separate from Synod Registration. A link to register is coming soon!

The ADGL is blessed to be in relationship with United Adoration, a group whose mission is "bringing artists together for the glory of God, the healing of His Church and the empowerment of local congregations to sing their song, tell their story and move forward in their mission." UA hosts songwriting retreats, trains local leaders, seeks to see the local church release songs and sounds that inspire believers, and does this globally, celebrating the unique things God is doing in communities throughout the world. ​
