Welcome to the 2012 Montreat conference on Worship and Music. We’re glad you’re here for a
week of worshiping, learning, singing, ringing, playing, renewing old friendships and making new
ones.
This year’s theme explores an often-neglected portion at the end of the liturgical year: All Saints’
Day through the Reign of Christ, or Christ the King. Our beautiful conference logo reminds us
of God’s generous abundance, not just to us but to the whole world. We notice the brilliant variety
of the fish, like the variety of God’s people; the loaves of bread spilling over the edge of the
picture; and the whole superimposed on the globe. God’s lavish love calls us to hospitality and to
justice, becoming more when it is shared, not hidden.
Sometimes the richness of offerings at a conference can make us feel a little overwhelmed: “I
could never do these things at my little church back home.” “That’s too high church/untraditional/you-name-it/
for our people.” I submit that any part of the conference that inspires you personally;
any part that gives you a creative spark, even in a different direction; any part that brings
you closer to God; will have accomplished its purpose.
As we anticipate the publication of a new hymnal next summer, each day we will be singing some
of the selections from that collection. You will notice them in your orders of worship indicated
by y. Enjoy browsing through the sampler which each conferee has received.
To stay informed during the week, take time to view the scrolling announcements each day on
the screen in the auditorium and in the lobbies of the auditorium and of Assembly Inn. There
will also be a daily email of the announcements.
God is calling us to a place beautiful and set apart, calling us to a life of love and service. May
you leave Montreat singing—renewed, refreshed and inspired, taking home with you abundant
beauty.
Soli Deo Gloria,
Jane D. Cain, Conference Director
Welcome

In God’s Abundance, Living, Moving, Being
Theological Reflections on our Worship
On Sunday, we come to worship encircled by a great cloud of witnesses. As we mark All Saints’ Day, we
celebrate the witness of the saints—of yesterday and today. We participate in a ritual of blessing the saints
among us, and we gather around the Lord’s Table for a foretaste of the heavenly banquet, singing Hosanna,
Alleluia and Amen! As we pass the light of Christ through the congregation and carry our lights into
the world, we remember God’s abundant promise: in life and in death, we belong to God.
On Monday, we come to worship with a vital heritage. We are gathered in—the rich and the haughty,
the lost and forsaken, the strong and the proud—as part of the body of Christ. We confess our sinfulness
with a prayer that is enacted, spoken and sung. As we are reconciled with God and with one another, we
are reminded that Jesus is the vine, who abides in us, and we are the branches, who abide in Christ. Trusting
in Christ’s abiding presence and eternal love, we engage in a ritual of thanksgiving and intercession,
offering prayers—from our hearts to the heart of God.
On Tuesday, we come to worship looking for guidance at the crossroads. Out of deep unordered waters,
God creates life anew, wading into the water with us and washing us clean with grace in abundance, mercy
without measure. Shall we gather at the river—to sing of our faith, touch the water, remember the promises
of our baptisms, and pray that justice roll down like a river, righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
On Wednesday, we come to worship seeking direction to new avenues of service. We are called from our
darkest nights into the light of Christ. Together we witness the church as the prism through which the
light of Christ is refracted into brilliant colors. The rainbow reminds us that our covenant-keeping God
knows us, calls us by name and blesses us with gifts in abundance. In response, we follow in the steps
of Jesus on different avenues of service, outside the walls of the church, into the hills of Montreat—and
beyond.
On Thursday, we come to worship with joy in our hearts. As we mark Thanksgiving Day, we gather with
one another to celebrate God’s lavish love poured out in the cup, and God’s multitude of mercies given
in the bread of communion. We come to the Table with open arms that offer our gifts of food and open
hearts that pray for possibilities to extend hospitality to the stranger, the outcast and the poor, so that all -
even as many as 5,000 are fed. Whoever you are, wherever you are on the journey of faith, come, eat the
bread of life, drink the cup of salvation and give thanks with great joy!
On Friday, we come to worship with openness to Christ’s presence among us. As we mark the Reign of
Christ, we celebrate the entire liturgical year in one dynamic worship service. Beginning with the lighting
of the candles of Advent and the singing of “Joy to the World,” continuing to the confession of Lent
and Easter’s proclamation of resurrection, we end with feeling the winds of Pentecost and witnessing the
Spirit giving birth to the church. Throughout the entire service, we celebrate Christ’s reign breaking in
during the church year. As we move through the life, death, resurrection and reign of Christ, we celebrate
Jesus’ promise to be with us always, even to the end of the age.
Let us worship God.

A Fragrant Offering,
a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God (Phil 15:18)
We are an offering…
This week, worship will be a dynamic experience, not only within, but beyond the walls of Anderson
Auditorium. In extending worship beyond the benediction, we embody the words of the Lord’s Prayer:
thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven. As a worshiping community, we will respond
to God’s call to be the hands and heart of Jesus Christ in the world. Each day will have a mission
component, related to the theme of worship for that day. We will learn about the particular mission
project through a video segment and lift up that mission in the prayers of the people. In the AA lobby
you are invited to gather additional information and learn how you might contribute to the ongoing
mission work. There will be a basket to give donations and cards to help you commit to further study,
prayer, or sharing with others.
On Sunday, with the worship focus on light, the mission component will feature the Solar Under the Sun
sponsored by the Presbyterian Church, USA. Be sure to stop by the information table and see Miatta
Wilson to learn more. For on-line information, see www.solarunderthesun.org.
On Monday, as worship focuses on the vine and branches, we will extend our worship through the
Gardens Project of Springfield Presbyterian Church in East Springfield, New York. Learn more about
this organic mission project from the information table and Katie Boardman.
On Tuesday, with the worship focus on water, the mission component will be Living Waters for the
World. Don’t miss the opportunity to talk with a representative of Living Waters at the table and
learn how you can be involved in helping others have safe drinking water. See Jennifer Fouse or www.
livingwatersfortheworld.org for more information.
On Wednesday, worship invites us to consider new avenues of service. As an extension, you are invited to
explore some options for involvement or donate at the table devoted to Young Adult Volunteers. Meghan
Brown Saavedra, who served as a YAV on the US/Mexico border in Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico, will
answer your questions. For more on-line information, go to www.gamc.pcusa.org/ministries/yav.
On Thursday, worship is focused on thanksgiving for our bread and sharing our abundance with others.
We will extend our worship by gathering food offerings and giving them to Swannanoa Valley Christian
Ministry for distribution. The Anderson Lobby Mission Table will have more information about this
ministry that feeds the hungry and provides other services to the poor who are neighbors of Montreat.
See Ken Cooper for more information.
On Friday, worship focuses on the presence of Christ throughout the liturgical year and all of our lives.
The mission emphasis is Music For the Soul, a ministry to help those who are hurting and broken to
begin to find, through music, healing and wholeness. Come to the information table to learn more
from one of the board members and to get a music CD for a donation. You will want to see some of the
poignant videos that will be showing. Contact Donna Giver Johnston if you want a CD or to learn more
about how your church might be involved in this powerful ministry. You can download songs, see videos
and get more information at: www.musicforthesoul.org.
Throughout the week, we gather to worship the God of abundance, in whom we live and move and
have our being. As we leave worship, let us be mindful that in the world, we continue to worship God,
proclaiming a risen Christ, alive in what Sara Miles describes as “the repeating, beating heart of the story
- that the face of the stranger is God’s face, and all people are one body: God’s.” Allow these mission
components to speak to you, to inform you, to challenge you, to invite you, to see the face of the stranger
as God’s face, and all people - especially those in need - as part of the body of Christ.
“O God of abundance, you feed us every day.
Rise in us now, make us into your bread,
that we may share your gifts with a hungry world,
and join in love with all people,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
~Sara Miles, Take this Bread

Rubrics for Worship
GATHERING
The sound of bells will call us to worship at each service. Please find your seat quickly and quietly when
you hear them.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Announcements will be projected onto the screen prior to worship and between classes. Announcements
can also be viewed at any time on the large screen monitors located in the lobbies of Anderson
Auditorium and Assembly Inn.
BEGINNING AND ENDING OF WORSHIP
The services will begin and end in different ways - congregational song, spoken word, drama, or
instrumental music. The richness of Reformed worship engages us heart, body, mind and spirit. Please use
the moments prior to worship to prepare yourself, that we may be fully present as the gathered community
when worship begins. The instrumental voluntary is the final act of worship; therefore, we ask that you
remain seated until worship has concluded.
STANDING IN WORSHIP
The asterisk * indicates that the assembly will stand, if able.
MOMENTS OF SILENCE FOR REFLECTION
Silent reflection will be a part of our worship during the week. These times will be indicated by the
worship leader.
“IN THE MARGINS”
Alongside the order of worship you will find a side margin with images, quotes and questions. These are
intended to enhance, but not distract from worship. Please make use of them as you desire or as the Spirit
leads.
THE LORD’S SUPPER AND REMEMBRANCE OF BAPTISM
Communion will be celebrated on Sunday evening and Thursday morning. It will be received by
intinction: please exit your pew to the left and move forward to the nearest station, receive bread from the
server and dip it in the cup. Return to your seat by moving up the aisle to your right. For those with gluten
allergies, alternative elements will be available at a station at the front of the stage. On Tuesday we will
follow the same movement as we come to baptismal bowls located at stations throughout the auditorium.
GLORY TO GOD: The Presbyterian Hymnal
Musical selections marked by this symbol y will be included in the new resource for congregational song.
APPLAUSE
We gather for worship that glorifies God. Every act in each service is an act of worship. If you are moved
in gratitude by the music or any other act of worship, appropriate responses are “Amen” or “Thanks be to
God.”
PHOTOGRAPHY, AUDIO AND VIDEO RECORDING
Please do not use cameras or video equipment in worship. The Conference Center records all sermons and
concerts, which may be purchased at the Montreat Store or ordered using the form found in the lobby of
Anderson Auditorium.
CELL PHONES
Please silence all cell phones and beepers during the worship services.

*Litany of Thanksgiving, Confession and Pardon
Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,
Let us also lay aside every weight
And the sin that clings so closely
And let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give our thanks and praise.
God of the ages,
we praise you for all your servants,
who have done justice, loved mercy,
and walked humbly with their God.
“The Communion of
Saints has something
to do with the fact
that the burdens
we bear because of
someone else, we
can also bear for
someone else.”
~Flannery O’Connor

For apostles and martyrs and saints of every time and place,
who in life and death have witnessed to your truth,
Singing together:
We praise you, O God: Al - le - lu - ia!
For all your servants who have faithfully served you,
witnessed bravely, and died in faith,
who still are shining lights in the world,
Singing together:
We praise you, O God. Alleluia!
For those no longer remembered,
who earnestly sought you in darkness,
who held fast their faith in trial, and served others,
Singing together:
We praise you, O God. Alleluia!
For those we have known and loved,
who by their faithful obedience and steadfast hope,
have shown the same mind that was in Christ Jesus,
Singing together:
We praise you, O God. Alleluia!
For those who we knew well and loved much,
who we miss deeply and will remember always,
we pause now in silence to give thanks for their life and legacy of love,
Brief silence before singing together:
We praise you, O God. Alleluia!
Eternal God,
in every age you have raised up men and women, boys and girls,
to live and die in faith.
We confess that we are indifferent to your will.
You call us to proclaim your name,
but we are silent.
You call us to do what is just,
but we remain idle.
You call us to live faithfully,
but we are afraid.
In your mercy, forgive us.
In your grace, redeem us.
In your love, remind us:
In life and death we belong to you, O God.
Give us courage to follow in your way,
that joined with those from ages past,
who have served you with faith, hope and love,
we may inherit the kingdom you promised in Jesus Christ,
the pioneer and perfecter of our faith,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.
Al
- le - lu - ia! A - - men!

Tell God...
Jesus said, “I am
the true vine, you
are the branches.
Abide in me as
I abide in you.
Those who abide
in me and I in them
bear much fruit.
As the Father has
loved me, so I have
loved you; abide
in my love.” (John
15:4, 5, 7)
What does this

Praying puts us at
risk of getting involved
in God’s conditions.
Be slow to
pray. Praying most
often doesn’t get us
what we want but
what God wants,
something quite at
variance with what
we conceive to be
in our best interests.

*Pardon and Response
The mercy of our God is from everlasting to everlasting.
Friends, believe the good news of the gospel:
In Jesus Christ we are forgiven.
So, why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within me
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my help and my God.

Sermon
In a nutshell—in a
word or phrase—
what did you hear
in the Sermon
15

Did you know that
a mustard seed is
extremely tiny—
about 1/16 of an inch
in diameter—smaller
than a peppercorn
or clove. And yet,
Jesus said, “If you
had faith the size
of a mustard seed,
you could say to this
mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted
and planted in
the sea,’ and it would
obey you.” (Luke 17:6)
“We ought to do
good to others as
simply as a horse
runs, or a bee makes
honey, or a vine bears
grapes season after
season without thinking
of the grapes it
has borne.” ~Marcus
Aurelius
“If we truly love
people, we will desire
for them far more
than it is within our
power to give them,
and this will lead us
to prayer.”
~ Richard Foster

Before God, with the people of God,
I confess to my brokenness:
To the ways I wound my life,
The lives of others,
And the life of the world.

May God forgive you, Christ renew you,
And the Spirit enable you to grow in love.

Jesus said, “Those

them will never be
thirsty. The water
that I will give will become
in them a spring
of water gushing up
to eternal life.” (John
4:14). What does this

What does water
symbolize for you

The Peace
“Peace. It does not
mean to be in a place
where there is no
noise, trouble, or
hard work. It means
to be in the midst
of those things and
still be calm in your
heart.” ~Unknown

Did you know
• 1.1 billion people
in the world do
not have access to
safe drinking water,
roughly one-sixth of
the world’s population.
• 2.2 million people in
developing countries,
most of them children,
die every year
from diseases associated
with lack of access
to safe drinking
water, inadequate
sanitation and poor
hygiene.
• Half of the world’s
hospital beds are
filled with people
suffering from water
related illnesses.
• 50 percent of
people on earth lack
adequate sanitation.
Another way
to look at it: Nearly
half of the world’s
population fails to
receive the level of
water services available
2,000 years ago
to the citizens of
ancient Rome.
If justice were to
roll down like a river,
where would you pray
it roll
Draw a picture of
a river of justice
or stream of
righteousness.
*Affirmation of Faith A Declaration of Faith (PCUS 1977)
Chapter 8 - The Christian Mission
God sends the church into the world.
God has not taken his people out of the world,
but has sent them into the world
to worship God there and serve all humankind.
We worship God in the world
by standing before the Lord on behalf of all people.
Our cries for help and our songs of praise
are never for ourselves alone.
Worship is no retreat from the world;
it is part of our mission.
We serve humankind
by discerning what God is doing in the world
and joining God in that work.
We affirm that the Lord is at work,
especially in events and movements
that free people by the gospel
and advance justice, compassion and peace.
We must not distort the gospel
by weakening its promises or demands,
by identifying it with oppressive structures,
by pointing to ourselves instead of Christ.
We must not restrict our proclamation
to persons just like ourselves.
We invite people everywhere
to believe in Christ and become his followers.
We urge them to join us in telling others the good news
and in struggling for justice, compassion, and peace.
God sends us to strive for justice.
God has reached out to those who suffer injustice
and defended the excluded, the poor, and the hungry.
The Lord is moving toward the time
when justice will roll down like waters
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
Prayers of the People
On cue, the congregation sings:

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.
I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid
The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
And also with you.

Did you know that
this music comes
from the Taizé
community in France,
where singing is
one of the most
important aspects
of worship and
short songs with few
words are repeated
so the words
permeate through
the whole body and
enable one to listen
to God The music
is a vessel to carry
the prayers from
worship into the
rhythms of daily life
and service. This
practice of prayer
mirrors the rhythmic
responses of doing
justice and loving
kindness that follow
walking humbly with
God.

Scripture Reading Matthew 25:14-30
Sermon
Prayers of the People (Our prayers are sung and spoken beginning with the Adult Choir.)
O Lord, How Can We Know Thee
Ron Nelson
O Lord, how can we know Thee Lord, where can we find Thee
Thou art as close to us as breathing and yet are farther than the farthermost star.
Thou art as mysterious as the vast solitudes of the night,
and yet are as familiar to us as the light of the sun.
O Lord, how can we know Thee Lord, where can we find Thee
When justice burns like a flaming fire, when love evokes willing sacrifice,
do we not bow down to Thee
Thou livest within our hearts as Thou dost pervade the world,
and we through Thy presence behold.
Spoken
The Lord’s Prayer (Our prayer is enacted by Friends of the Groom.)

Prayer of the Day
Prayer of Confession
Our Father,
forgive us when we refuse to come to the banquet,
when we stand outside and murmur
against the extravagance and injustice of your grace.
Forgive our silly righteousness, our lethal pride,
our efforts to live off the abundance of ourselves.
Impoverish us, we pray,
so that we might be filled with Christ,
with the bread of life and the wine of the Spirit.
So may we learn the manners of the kingdom
and find our places around the table of your love.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Pardon Psalm 65: 1-5
Refrain:
All praise and thanks to God, Who reigns in high-est
heav - en.
Friends, believe the good news:
God has answered our prayer.
In Jesus Christ, we are delivered from sin and granted salvation.
Thanks be to God!
Jesus said, “I am
the bread of life.

How does it make

“Sometime in your

that face when the
bread finally arrives.
Hope that you might
have baked it or
bought or even
kneaded it yourself.
For the look on that

those eyes across
a piece of bread, you
might be willing to
lose a lot, or suffer
a lot, or die a little,
even.”

What is your favorite
Christmas carol
Did you know that
“Joy to the World”
is based on Psalm 98
and was written by
Isaac Watts and first
published in 1719.
The hymn was not
intended as a song
to celebrate Jesus’
birth at Christmas,
but rather as a hymn
glorifying Christ’s
triumphant return at
the end of the age.
“Turn around and
believe that the good
news that we are
loved is better than
we ever dared hope,
and that to believe
in that good news,
to live out of it and
toward it, to be in
love with that good
news, is of all glad
things in this world
the gladdest thing of
all. Amen, and come
Lord Jesus.”
~Frederick Buechner
Anthem y A Stable Lamp Is Lighted ANDUJAR
The Children’s Choir sings:
Richard Wilbur
A stable lamp is lighted Whose glow will wake the sky;
The stars shall bend their voices, And every stone shall cry.
And every stone shall cry, And straw like gold shall shine;
A barn shall harbor heaven, A stall become a shrine.
This child through David’s city Shall ride in triumph by;
The palm shall strew its branches, And every stone shall cry.
And every stone shall cry, Though heavy, dull, and dumb,
And lie within the road-way To pave his kingdom come.
Yet he shall be forsaken, And yielded up to die;
The sky shall groan and darken, And every stone shall cry.
And every stone shall cry For stony hearts of men;
God’s blood upon the spearhead, God’s love refused again.
But now as at the ending, The low is lifted high;
The stars shall bend their voices, And every stone shall cry.
And every stone shall cry, In praises of the Child
By whose descent among us The worlds are reconciled.
David Hurd

*Prayer of the Day
Call to Confession
At his baptism, Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit,
and was revealed as God’s beloved Son,
thus opening the door of repentance to all who are baptized.
Remembering the covenant God made in our baptism,
let us confess our sin,
so that we may live together in grace as beloved children of God.

Class Descriptions
ADULTS (Age 22 and older) and YOUNG ADULTS (Age 18-21)
Conferees 18 years old, whether in high school or not, may register as either Young Adult or Senior High,
and may attend both Adult classes and Senior High classes.
Classes which have a + before the title may be used for PAM Certification.
See the PAM website, www.presbymusic.org, for more information.
+ Art Seminar: Creating a Visual Environment of Hospitality (Pam Hardiman) 8:00, AI Lobby. One of the tasks
of a church community is to create a worship space that both welcomes and inspires, that speaks of hospitality and
abundance, and that helps us use more of our senses to experience the Reign of Christ. In this class, we will learn
how to use banners and other fiber art to create vibrantly beautiful worship spaces.
Art Workshop: Rejoice! Banners & Panels (Pam Hardiman) 3:30-5:30, FH3. Learn simple techniques for
painting on silk to create versatile banners and panels to enhance your worship environment. We will concentrate
on the greens used for Ordinary Time, as well as the white and gold useful for All Saints and the Reign of Christ,
learning general techniques that can be used for all the liturgical seasons. This is a two hour afternoon lab course.
+ Bible Study: Life in Christ, God’s Indescribable Gift ( John Rogers) 2:30 class for pastors and seminary students
not singing in choir; identical class at 3:30 for others. LBL. Drawing upon both Lectionary and other texts, the class
will consider particular aspects of the grace that is ours in God’s decision to be with us and for us in Jesus Christ.
Topics will include: Grace as Cohesive (The Gift of Community); Grace as Nurture (The Gift of Instruction); Grace
as Vocation (The Gifts of Obedience and Service); Grace as Invincible (The Gift of Encouragement); Grace as
Sovereign (The Gift of Assurance).
+ Chamber Choir ( Jonathan Willcocks) 8:00, AA; 4:30 CH. An auditioned ensemble that will rehearse twice each
day. This choir will sing at the Thursday evening concert. On-site auditions will take place during Sunday check-in
at Montreat. Music packet purchased on-site.
+ Choir ( Jonathan Willcocks) 9:00 and 2:30, AA. This choir is for all registered adult conferees. Two rehearsals
each day prepare this choir to sing for worship and for the Friday concert.
+ Conducting: Retooling Your Conducting Gesture (Carol Krueger) 3:30, MC.
Insights, review and renewal of conducting gesture and skills for church and public school choral and instrumental
conductors/educators will be the main focus of this course.
Conferee Idea Exchange 10:00 LS. Here’s your opportunity to share your best ideas with others. Choir tours, fundraising,
concert series, getting your compositions published, integrating with the praise band: whatever has worked
well for you. You may also bring displays, brochures, compositions to share, etc., which can be left in the classroom all
during the week.
+Developing Vocal Technique (Carol Krueger) 10:00, MC. This class will focus on the essentials that singers, vocal
music educators and church choral directors need to build healthy, vibrant voices.
+ Drama: Beyond Bathrobes-- Drama and Storytelling for the Church (Friends of the Groom) 8:00, 3:30, 4:30,
FH1. This is a workshop for worship leaders, Christian educators, youth workers, actors, directors, and anyone
else who likes to express their faith creatively. Those who come will be invited to participate in a variety of drama
and storytelling activities throughout the week, including five ways to perform a story in church and using drama
in worship and education. We’ll also explore a variety of techniques for bringing scripture alive in worship. The
workshop will also include practical information about where to find resources for Christian theatre and storytelling.
+ Global Music in Worship (Amanda Powell) 8:00, 10:00, AI1. As the world grows smaller and more complex
each day, we are called to pray, rejoice and enter into worship with our sisters and brothers around the world. Enliven
your worship experience by integrating global sacred music into your liturgy. Learn song leading techniques for
introducing diverse music to choirs and congregations of all ages! Two identical classes daily.
Handbells (Kay Cook, Ed Tompkins, Debra Wallace). UA and WU. See schedule for times. Beginning,
intermediate, and advanced levels and an auditioned chamber choir. Music packet purchased on-site.
Instrumental Ensembles (Mark Britt) 8:00, 1:30, 3:30, 4:30, AI218. Opportunities for instrumentalists to rehearse
and play for worship and other conference events. On-site audition is required for ensemble placement.
70

+ Literacy and Musicianship Skills: Rhythm (Carol Krueger) 1:30, MC. Working from the premise that singers
learn musical skills in much the same order as they do language skills, participants will explore how we ‘learn’ music
through hearing and imitating patterns before reading (translating notation into sound) and writing (translating
sound into notation). Specific techniques for developing rhythm reading readiness, literacy, and musicianship skills
will be explored using the sound-to-symbol learning sequence and the Takadimi rhythm pedagogy system. Singers,
ringers, instrumentalists, and music directors will find this mini-workshop highly beneficial.
+ Literacy and Musicianship Skills: Tonal and Melodic (Carol Krueger) 8:00, MC. In this course the soundto-symbol
learning sequence addressed in the rhythm course will be applied to tonal and melodic reading. To aid
the development of aural-oral tonal skills, a sequence of vocal pitch exercises will be presented in a graphic form
that can be utilized in the church choral rehearsal setting via overhead transparencies or an LCD projector. The
implementation of reading skills to choral repertoire will also be explored. Singers, ringers, instrumentalists, and
music directors will find this mini-workshop highly beneficial.
+ Symbol and Ritual: More Than Words Can Say (Donna Giver Johnston) 4:30 LBL. Religious symbols do not
simply serve to represent something; rather, they speak volumes of our faith traditions and practices. In worship,
symbols mean more than words can say—they are powerful enough to transform mystery into faith and memory
into hope. Liturgical scholar Aidan Kavanagh wrote, “Symbols coax one into a swamp of meaning and require
one to frolic in it.” This week, you are invited into the swamp of meaning, where we will explore various liturgical
symbols, especially those that are the focus of each day’s worship: light, water, bread, and cross.
+ Music for Young Children (Anne McNair) Demonstration Class, 8:00, WO-C: Conferees may register their

Presbyterian Association of Musicians
Professional Certification for Church Musicians
Certification is an important step in professional development and recognition within the church.
The Presbyterian Association of Musicians hopes that all Pastors and Sessions will encourage
musicians to work toward achieving this goal.
PAM offers three levels of certification for Church Musicians:
• Certified Colleague in Church Music (CCCM)
o
No degree requirement
• Certified Associate Church Musician (CACM)
o
A Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college with a major in music is required
• Certified Church Musician (CCM)
o
A Master’s or Doctor’s degree in music is required
The vision is that musicians will work toward obtaining certification that they might be
recognized personally, professionally and as an integral voice in the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church (USA).
The Presbyterian Association of Musicians is extremely proud of those of you who are certified
and those who are in the process of obtaining certification, and PAM is willing to provide
encouragement along the way. If you have questions or concerns, our Certification Committee
will gladly address them. Without sacrificing standards of certification, we want the process to
be workable.
Certification requirements and forms may be found on the PAM website at www.presbymusic.
org/ProfCertification.htm

A Word about Registration Costs
Church and family budgets are becoming tighter and are forced
to cover more opportunities than ever before. The PAM Board
is aware of the sacrifice that each church and individual makes to
attend the Worship and Music Conference, and we take seriously
the responsibility of providing a quality worship, educational, and
renewal experience at an appropriate financial level. The cost of
conference registration over the last twenty years has risen at a
lower rate than inflation over the same period of time. Also to be
considered are the increases in faculty transportation, honoraria, and the general cost of doing
business with printing, mailing, and credit card use. There are many factors that impact the
challenge of staging this nationally renowned conference.
Over half of the Conference budget relates to conference faculty, including travel, honoraria,
meals, and lodging. Twenty-five percent of the budget is required to secure the Montreat
Conference Center in order to pay user fees, security, and conference brochures. The final portion
of the budget is divided between administrative costs and programming costs. There are hidden
expenses such as printing costs for class handouts, music packets, instrumental music, copyright
licenses, and even coffee breaks in Assembly Inn that not only contribute to a significant budget,
but also help make this conference effective and enjoyable for all who participate.
In addition to the work of the Conference Planning Team and the budget associated with
this conference, each adult conferee also automatically becomes a member of the Presbyterian
Association of Musicians, the sponsoring organization of this event. We invite your continuing
participation in PAM throughout the year - not just during conference week. Attend other PAM
events, volunteer for board committees, offer yourself as a candidate for a seat on the Executive
Board, contribute to the Annual Fund, and offer suggestions to the Executive Board and staff
about how PAM can better serve you and your congregation. By being an active member of
PAM throughout the year you not only assure the continuation of this conference, but you
also undergird the work of PAM in support of Presbyterian musicians and worship leaders
throughout the denomination.

Mr. Deal has provided recording engineering services for the Montreat Conferences on
Worship & Music concerts for over 20 years.
Some words from others:
“My 30 years of experience has taught me that there are a lot of people who are experts when it comes to technical information and there are lot of people who have great ears and a musical
sensitivity to how things should sound but rarely have I met people who are gifted in both areas. Jim Deal is one of these people.”
-David German, Director of Music, Grace Presbyterian Church, Peoria, IL
“His recommendations greatly improved the intelligibility problems for the spoken word vs. musical needs. An additional plus from Jim's involvement was his background in music. He
understands the important role which music plays during worship services.”

Rthe high quality construction of electric-
andall Dyer & Associates, is
a small, privately held corporation
located near Knoxville,
Tennessee, specializing in
the high quality construction of electricactioned
pipe organs.
Our first instrument, built in 1967 for a local
college, is still in use today, and is joined
by nearly 100 more, in fourteen eastern
states. In the intervening 40 years, we have
established our reputation by offering our
clients well-conceived organs at reasonable
cost. With particular emphasis on church
service playing, our instruments are known
for their unusually well-blended full,
rich, and cohesive sound - a sound which
compels congregations to sing heartily,
without obliterating them.
With the exception of pipes and electrical
gear, the parts of all our organs, including
our Blackinton-style slider-and-pallet
chests, our consoles, wind systems, framing
and casework, are all made in house. We
believe this is the only way to ensure the
strict quality control we want over the end
product.
Pipework, custom-made to our exacting
specifications by a small, select group of pipemakers
with whom we have worked for more
than 25 years, is scaled and voiced here for the
specific installation under the supervision of
our Tonal Director, Bradley E. Jones.
