Every so often I dream about a day when worshipdrummer.ca will grow beyond being just a blog. After all, as worshipdrummers we are real people. I have seriously longed for a day when we could gather an army of worshipdrummers under one roof and spend some meaningful time together learning, growing, and connecting with one another. Putting on such an event is far too big a feat for our humble blog but I’m incredibly grateful for what the guys over at Risen Drums are doing in this regard.

This event lines up exactly with our blog’s “raison d’être” and I hope that you will consider attending. Heck, I live in Toronto (Canada) and I’m even making arrangements with my wife to see if we can afford to send me.
One thing you can be sure of is that I’m going to make every effort to be there and blog about the whole experience. That’s my goal and I hope to make it there and even see some of you there too 🙂
Who’s getting excited? Let me know if you plan to go.
[thanks to Gabe and Dan for letting us know about this]
