Schedule Our convention schedule is described below. It is divided into sections for easier reading. |
|
FRIDAY, March 4th |
|
Seminar ~ 4:00 pm Drawing: We begin our Friday seminar with a drawing. Lesson: Mickey will be teaching our Friday seminar. Dinner: After our seminar we will take a dinner break, and then get ready for our Friday evening chapel service. |
|
Chapel ~ 7:00 pm We begin our Friday evening chapel service with music and worship. Minister: Phil is scheduled to be the guest minister for our Friday evening chapel service, ministering in song and testimony. |
|
SATURDAY, March 5th |
|
Seminar Saturday’s seminar will be in two sessions. Phil and Mickey will minister both sessions. Session One ~ 10:00 am Drawing: We begin our Saturday seminar with a drawing. Lesson: Mickey will begin our seminar, Phil will follow. Lunch: We will break for lunch following our first session, and after lunch we will recommence our seminar with our second session. Session Two ~ 2:00 pm In session two, Phil and Mickey will team-up to critique the songs of several brave souls while the rest of our attendees get to listen, watch and learn. Phil and Mickey will critique one song at a time. They will play the demo, so everyone attending can hear each song, plus have the lyrics on the projector screen so everyone can read each lyric. Having an award-winning, chart-topping writer like Phil Cross critiquing your song is a great opportunity, and Mickey Mixon is known for his candid and prolific ability to critique, so this will prove to be a valuable lesson for students of the craft. Dinner: After our second seminar session we will break for dinner, and then get ready for our Saturday evening chapel service. |
|
Chapel ~ 6:00 pm We begin our Saturday evening service with music and worship. Song: A true professional, integrity, faith and a desire to touch the heart, Phil's singing and songs are sure to bless you. Communion: After Phil ministers in song we will move into a precious segment of our service, we will share in communion. This will be special because we will participate in communion as a body of Gospel songwriters. We shared in communion during our 2010 Gospel Songwriters Revival and it was a cherished portion of our revival. Prayer: After communion, we will move into another special portion of our Saturday evening service. Mickey will anoint and pray for each attendee, with grace and wisdom. Mickey said, “Similar to our revival, I sense the need to anoint and pray for the Gospel songwriters attending our convention. We will also, gladly, anoint and pray for the rest of our attendees but I particularly feel the necessity to pray for our writers. I feel led to pray for their spouses, too.” Message: Following our time of communion and prayer, Mickey will minister from God's Word. He has a special message to share with Gospel songwriters and desires for them to be blessed by it. |
