Singing Psalms: An Outpouring Of Contemporary Song For Congregational Use, Alison Adam, Alfredo Colman, Wendell Kimbrough, Greg Scheer, Isaac Wardell Jan 2017

Singing Psalms: An Outpouring Of Contemporary Song For Congregational Use, Alison Adam, Alfredo Colman, Wendell Kimbrough, Greg Scheer, Isaac Wardell

Symposium on Worship Archive

Remarkably, even since the publication of Psalms for All Seasons just a few years ago, over 30 new Psalm-based songwriting and recording projects have emerged from a variety of contemporary worship leaders across North America and beyond. While some of these settings are designed for solo voices, many are well-suited to congregational use, and are worthy heirs to the legacy of congregation-based Psalms re-established by Luther and Calvin. Come to explore a variety of examples of this music, as well as the stories behind the songs. In addition, to consider new songs you might use in your context, come ready …

Short Songs: Deepening Our Participation In Worship, Alison Adam Jan 2017

Short Songs: Deepening Our Participation In Worship, Alison Adam

Symposium on Worship Archive

Short songs do something different: they deepen, with music, the responses a congregation makes in an act of worship. Often tied to liturgical moments in a service, short songs enable us to gather, to pray, to prepare to hear God’s Word, to affirm, to go forth, to move, to rejoice. They tap into the emotion of worship songs, and they draw on the ancient tradition of chant, but they are neither contemporary nor traditional. We’ll sing about 10 of these songs, gathered by the Iona Community from their own writers and from the world church. They are easily led, enable …

Inviting The Text To Direct The Service, Joan Devries Jan 2017

Inviting The Text To Direct The Service, Joan Devries

Symposium on Worship Archive

Biblical text is central to Christian worship gatherings. Generally, the most significant piece of scripture is the focus of the sermon or the message, and worship planners are happy when they can match that theme in other parts of the worship gathering. What if, however, we invited the text with its various parts and movements to shape the whole of our service more concretely rather than have it be packaged as the teaching contained in a sermon? What if we adopted the movements within a psalm as the separate movements of our worship gathering and we enacted the psalm together? …

Movement And Worship: An Experiential Engagement Of Embodiment In Ministry, Cassandra Vander Well

Playing In Luke's Gospel, Joy-Elizabeth Lawrence Jan 2017

Playing In Luke's Gospel, Joy-Elizabeth Lawrence

Symposium on Worship Archive

Though we often think of Bible study as serious business, adding an element of play into our exploration of scripture deepens our emotional connection to the text and can invite our congregations to experience God’s Word in a new way. In this hands-on seminar, we will explore and consider contextualized ways to present portions of Luke’s gospel in worship.

Autism And Your Church, Barbara J. Newman Jan 2017

Autism And Your Church, Barbara J. Newman

Symposium on Worship Archive

With one in 68 individuals being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), it is likely that your worshiping community already includes someone with ASD. If you are a pastor, worship leader, musician, church school teacher, or church volunteer, discover specific ways to identify, interact with, and worship with persons with ASD. Using six key areas of difference, this session will take best practices in special education and apply them to a church setting. Leave with a toolbox full of new ideas to try starting next week with both children and adults!

Worship 101: Giving Witness To The Unseen, Eric L. Mathis, Paul Ryan Jan 2017

Worship 101: Giving Witness To The Unseen, Eric L. Mathis, Paul Ryan

Symposium on Worship Archive

A fundamental task of worship leadership is giving witness to God. Although we do not see God, we do see evidence of God’s work in the world. We bear witness to God’s work in worship through songs, stories, prayers, and words, and we prompt the congregation to do the same as they embody each action of worship. In this seminar, we will explore the ways worshiping communities name, or give witness to, those things that are seen and unseen. Then, we will imagine how communities similar to or different from our own might teach us about our own faithful witness.

Worship 201: Giving Witness To The Urgent, Eric L. Mathis, Paul Ryan

Symposium on Worship Archive

A critical task of 21st century worship leadership is to name pressing issues, and give confident witness to the reality of God’s presence in sometimes difficult circumstances. In this seminar, we will identify pressing issues in local and global worshiping communities. Then we will engage past and present worshiping communities as case studies to identify their approach to urgent issues. Finally we will imagine how these communities might teach us about giving confident witness to those issues that are urgent in our time and place.

Research: Student Resident Research, Brittany Rathbun

School of Human Sciences Research Showcase

The first step for any project is the research to fit the needs for residents and staff alike. South Hall was built in the 1950s providing a historical aspect to it. It was built with a post-modern design using brick and concrete. Although it is important to keep the flavor of the original post-modern exterior design, the importance of renovating the building to accommodate security, bringing up to code, technology, security, better retention, and comfortable environment is crucial to this design.

Researchers at two universities worked with project partners to develop indigenous interpretive curriculum that provided the tools for indigenous students to tell their own stories and market their own heritage to visitors seeking an authentic experience. Project partners sought to identify elements that exemplify a culturally grounded approach to indigenous interpretation. It is assumed that indigenous interpretation will provide opportunities for non-native visitors to have meaningful experiences of native culture. It is also assumed that indigenous interpretation will foster a deeper understanding of the sacredness of native homelands, the resiliency and vulnerability of natural and cultural systems, and the beauty …

Increasing Retention Rates For South Hall Residency, Cody Johnson, Catherine Rivette Jan 2017

Increasing Retention Rates For South Hall Residency, Cody Johnson, Catherine Rivette

School of Human Sciences Research Showcase

Stephen F. Austin State University's Residence Life Department aims to improve resident retention in South Hall through renovation and interior design. By improving the spaces meant for student use, we hope to increase the involvement and comfort of the residents. The existing structure was not designed for today's amenities and accessibility standards. By enlarging doorways, adding an elevator, and de-compartmentalizing the community spaces, the building becomes much more accessible to people with disabilities. These open spaces also fit into the contemporary styles of living and promote interaction between the residents and other occupants.

School of Human Sciences Research Showcase

Our team was challenged to design an assisted living (AL) facility for county residents with dementia when their condition ultimately prevents their continued participation in the Nacogdoches Treatment Center's (NTC) Day Activity Program. The NTC is a non-profit facility founded in 1972. Its mission is to provide needed services that are not being met by the community. With the new facility, patients may transition seamlessly from the daily program to a permanent living space, surrounded by familiar faces and loving care.

School of Human Sciences Research Showcase

Concept Statement Inspired by the Novel, we were drawn to the character Claudia as her mental state transformed from innocent child into a malicious hellion. As a vampire, Claudia struggled with the idea that she would never physically age. We developed a two-part outfit with this internal conflict in mind. The first of which, will represent Claudia as an innocent child, using our soft good materials from Cronan and Associates. The second part will represent her mental transformation into a dangerous and sleek predator using both soft goods from Cronan and Associates and hard goods from Daltile.
