Get Involved : Worship Group

 Information for the Worship Group

and anyone else who is interested! None of this information, etc, should be taken as an endorsment by the Parish of Dibden but its hoped it will be interesting, thought provoking and, hopefully, useful.

Musicademy Links

I get regular information from an organisation called Musicademy ('Outstanding practical worship training').  As well as providing materials and courses they have some good, practical information available on their website. (Let me know if one of the links doesn't work - they seem to rename pages from time to time.)
