How to do Beer & Hymns

Nathan Baker-Lutz, Claire Clyburn, Kristen Howerton, Chad Markley, Millie Perkins, Lindsey Stewart, Larry Perkins

Saturday 12:00pm | Episcopal

Beer and Hymns is one way you can take the Wild Goose experience home with you! This workshop will give you tools to create a Beer and Hymns community in your community.

Nathan Baker-Lutz

Something sacred happens when people sing together. Nate Baker-Lutz and Josh Rockett launched Beer and Hymns Chicago after experiencing it at Wild Goose in 2013. With local musicians playing banjos, mandolin, guitar, accordion and anything else laying around they lead spirited sing-alongs where the only rules are faster and louder. They’re committed to minimal amplification, relying on those gathered to lead the way and guide the singing. They’ve also helped a group launch Holland, MI, spreading the joy to more saints, sinners and spirited sojourners. Each time people gather to drink and sing they also laugh, shout, dance and make joyful noises with the hope of rediscovering what it means to gather in the Spirit and allow great hymns to move through God’s people. All are welcome as we join the voices of the past with people in the present and look toward the future we can create together.
