Saturday, January 19 at 3 pm, the worship arts ministry of Sojourn Community Church is hosting a songwriting seminar led by worship leader and singer-songwriter Jamie Barnes. Whether you're a music minister, worship leader or a Christian who would like to write songs for others or to perform them in public venues, you will find this inaugural event in Sojourn's Songwriter Series to be helpful and informative.

Jamie Barnes is recognized as one of the leading members of Louisville's music scene, with positive reviews in the Courier Journal, LEO, Billboard Magazine, a recent cover story in Louisville Music News, and regular airplay on Louisville's WFPK FM. His songs of loss, longing, love and redemption are socially astute and biblically literate, with captivating melodies.

As a Sojourn worship leader, he recently composed a new melody for Isaac Watts' classic hymn "Joy to the World," recorded on Sojourn's new Advent Songs CD, positively profiled in the Dec. 26 edition of Louisville's Velocity Weekly. For more info, email music@sojournmusic.com
