The Uniting Creative team took centre stage at Synod 2023 as they performed songs from their brand-new album, ‘Transforming Spirit,’ for the very first time.
The ‘Transforming Spirit’ album is a musical project by Uniting Creative featuring songs of worship that the Uniting Church can use for future events and services. It represents their debut album, highlighting their artistic talents.
Uniting Creative team played as a part of the worship team, contributing their talented production to both the opening, and closing worship sessions.
During the Synod Expo, attendees had the opportunity to listen, connect, and access the online platform for music, videos, and sheet music by simply scanning the QR codes located on cards available throughout the expo
