OLD RUGGED CROSS ......................... (Murrell Ewing & Audience) IT FINALLY CAME! The night for which we had planned, practiced, and dreamed about so long had arrived. Anticipation and excitement were in the air. Everyone there could feel it. This was to be the culmination of a fantastic week -- a week that had far exceeded our expectations. The 250 seminar participants had been so eager to grasp everything. The week was hectic; the schedule was rough; but, the rewards were rich and now this night was to underscore everything that had been said and done throughout the entire week. It was such a beautiful climax to such a beautiful week. Jackson Municipal Auditorium burst forth with excitement as four guest choirs from different parts of the country sang under the Annointing. Choirs from Life Tabernacle, Houston, Texas; Greater First Pentecostal Church, Alexandria, LA., Radio Tabernacle, Herrin, IIL; and Bethel Tabernacle, Levittown, New York, were all a tremendous blessing to the service. The highlight of the evening was the 300 voice mass choir under the direction of Lanny Wolfe, Dean of the School of Music, Jackson College of Ministries. The mass choir consisted of National Music Ministry participants, choirs from the First Pentecostal Church of Jackson, Mississippi and the Jackson College of Ministries choir. Although many people from across our entire fellowship were there and felt the spiritual impact of the evening, we knew that there would be many who would not be able to attend. So it is with great pleasure that the first National Music Ministry conference shares this very special evening with you.

February 9-13, 1976, will long be remembered by many people who attended the First National Music Ministry Conference. For several years, it had been a dream to have such a week for church choir directors and musicians. Many months of planning by many people culminated in a week that changed many lives and will have a monu- mental effect on the music program throughout the fellowship of the United Pente- costal Church. Two hundred and fifty seminar participants-not including husbands and wives of those who attended-represented churches from 28 stales. The kickoff service on Monday evening was highlighted by an unforgettable mes- sage entitled, "The Unforgettable Institution of Zion " delivered by Reverend Murrell Ewing and set a beautiful keynote for the entire conference. Morning inspiration sessions included speakers Thetus Tenney, Bob Benson, Sr., Vice President of Heart Warming Records, Nashville, Tennessee, and Reverend Murrell Ewing. Day seminars included sessions on Music Ministry and Worship, Music Theory, Choral Conducting, New Horizons, the Choir Director's Wife, Vocal Hints and.Tech- niques, Sound Considerations, Sources of Repertoire, Reading Sessions of New Mater- ials, Organ and Piano Selection, Leadership, Change, three seminars on Piano Technique, three seminars on Organ Technique, Black Gospel, and Songwriting. Seminar sessions were conducted by Lanny Wolfe, Marietta Wolfe, Wayne Goodine, Ron Dansby, Tom TofT5?fan, and Larry Williamson. Tuesday evening, the senior choir of the First Pentecostal Church presented a musical which included excerpts from the musical, "His Love Reaching". The musical set the stage for Sister Vesta Mangun, who challenged everyone to do better in what- ever they were doing as she delivered her timely message entitled, "A Musical Bi- centennial Celebration." Wednesday night marked the first service at the City Auditorium. The Lanny Wolfe Trio and Jackson College of Ministries Choir led the audience in worship with their annointed singing, after which Rev. Thomas L. Craft preached a very moving sermon about "The Sound of the Trumpet". Thursday evening, featuring "The Sounds of Pentecost--A Tribute to Pentecostal Songwriters," proved to be a very inspirational and exciting evening paying tribute to 12 of our finest songwriters. After the service over 500 people attended a banquet at the Holiday Inn in honor of the guest songwriters. The entire week of activities culminated in a festival of choirs, including four guest choirs fromthroughout the nation, and featuring a 300-voice mass choir which sang 10 songs that were rehearsed during the week. Special guests at the conference included Jeff Jeffrey of John T. Benson Publish- ing Company who provided two reading sessions reviewing new music coming out of John T, Benson Publishing Co. Jim Black, Nashville representative of SESAC and Gospel D.J. of the Year for the previous two years, attended the conference and parti- cipated in the songwriting seminar. In retrospect, it is impossible to comprehend what transpired in four days and five evenings. The excitement of people who wanted to learn so much was over- whelming, and so many of those attending the conference commented that they were so thrilled because they had received as much spiritually as they had in musical knowl- edge and help. This conference will be a landmark to the ministry of music in the United Pentecostal Church. If the Lord tarries, the Second National Music Ministry Conference is scheduled for February 21-25, 1977.
