Dr. Nancy Hall participates in Hymn Society's 2010 annual conference
Dr. Nancy Hall just returned from the annual July conference of The Hymn Society in the United States and Canada, held this year at Samford University, in Birmingham, Alabama. The theme of this year's conference was "Sing of Justice, Sing of Peace." Highlights of the five-day event included hymn festivals each day. Among these was "Unsung Hymns by Black and Unknown Bards, led by James Abbington at Sixth Avenue Baptist Church; "Crazy in Alabama: Longing for Justice in Story and Song," a festival with folksinger and recording artist Kate Campbell; and an evening of shaped-note Sacred Harp singing. Attendees could choose from among forty different workshops on hymnody and church music offered during the week. Over two hundred people from across the US and Canada attended the conference.
FALL 2010 COURSE ON MUSIC AND WORSHIP
If you love sacred music and congregational song, please join Dr. Nancy Hall this September in the ABSW course "Leading Music for Worship" (RAFT2717). This 1.5 unit class will meet on Tuesdays from 5:30 to 7:00 pm. Students in the class will gain hands-on experience in the ministry of music: choosing hymns and songs, leading singing, introducing new music, and planning congregational music within the context of worship. Our "lab" for this course will be ABSW weekly community chapel service, at 6:00 pm on Mondays. Come learn and lead with us!
