FAQ

Some questions you may wish you could ask:

Q. How much does this thing cost?
A. We're suggesting each participant offer $25.00. Families could offer $50.00. The money will go for food and the use of the facility. However, for anyone for whom the cost is an issue, any gift will be fine.

Q. How can I help serve?
A. Presently we're trying to find groups who will help with the three main meals. Last time, Goshen served the meals but this prevented some of the sisters from being as involved in the music as they wished. If three churches would offer to serve just one meal (Saturday noon, Saturday evening, and Sunday noon) Goshen will make sure breakfasts are available.

Q. Can I bring my kids?
A. Yes. But there will be no service for them. You will need to supervise them at all times.

Q. I didn't come to the last one. What will the sleeping arrangements be like?
A. We'll do our best to keep couples together, but this may not be possible. You could end up in an all male or all female setting. Can you say, "Dormitory"? The rooms are all comfortable with bedding provided.

Q. I'm really not that musical but I just love music. Should I come?
A. Yes! If you have advanced to the point of reading this page, you must be being led by the Spirit.

Q. Can I bring a friend?
A. Yes. But remember, space is limited so get your reservation for him and you in soon.

Q. Do I have to sing four-part harmony?
A. No. Nor do you have to sit in all the sessions. But here's a little secret: you'll want to!

Q. I think these music camps are a great idea, but what exactly is the overall point of doing this?
A. The point is to allow the Lord to nurture our music within the churches. We have some idea how that will and has been happening, but we are on the threshold of an exciting journey. Where it takes us precisely we can't say, except to the Spirit. There will be more sharing on this specific question on Saturday morning.

Q. I want to learn to play the piano? Will the "Play piano by ear" session do that for me?
A. Good one. Or, to put it another way, no. But all these sessions are meant to nurture, fertilize, open doors ... and hopefully after an hour session you'll begin to realize, "Hey, I can learn to do this!"
