Offertory: Mark Hayes, And the Father will dance (Chancel Choir)
…over you in joy.
He will take delight in whom he loves.
Is that a choir I hear, singing the praises of God?
No, the Lord God himself is exulting over you in song.
And he will joy over you in song.
My soul will make its boast in God,
For he has answered all my cries
His faithfulness to me is as sure as the dawn of a new day.
Awake my soul, and sing:
Let my spirit rejoice in God!
Sing, O daughter of Zion with all of your heart!
Cast away fear, for you have been restored!
Put on the garment of praise, as on a festival day.
Join with the Father in glorious, jubilant song
Zephaniah 3.14, 17; Psalm 34.2, 4

Postlude: Arr John Behnke, Someone’s Singing, Lord

Music Scholars Fall 2011

Black Mountain Presbyterian Church is pleased to announce its music scholars for Fall 2011. Nathan Hathaway Adams and Imari Jade Scarbrough will each receive $1000 scholarship for tuition and fees at their college, Montreat College this semester. The Music Scholars program allows scholar musicians an opportunity to hone their musical skills in the context of a vital and vigorous music ministry representing a wide variety of musical styles and worship experiences. Scholars participate in one of the church’s adult music ensembles, the Chancel Choir which sings weekly at the 11AM worship service or the Prophets of Praise contemporary ensemble which leads music at the 830AM alternative worship service FirstLight. Mr. Adams will be singing Tenor in the choir; Ms. Scarbrough will be playing violin in the Prophets ensemble.

Nathan Hathaway Adams has been living in Asheville since 2003 and has been performing ever since. He has been very active in the Montford Park Players, and has also self produced some of his own works as a playwright. He is currently pursuing a BA at Montreat College where he is studying music. You can find more at his website, www.nathanhadams.com

Ms Scarbrough was born in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania and grew up in Winchester, Virginia. In recent years she moved back to Pennsylvania; this is her third year at Montreat. Soon after graduation, she hopes to move to either North Carolina or southern Virginia. She was homeschooled along with five younger siblings and was on the swim team, soccer team, 4-H, a few orchestras and ensembles, and other activities, even a chess club for awhile. She is a senior communications major now with minors in English and music. She hopes to graduate either next May or August.

For more information about the scholarship program, visit the church’s website www.bmpcnc.org or contact Mike Barker, director of music and worship arts at the church via phone (669-7813) or email (michaelb@bmpcnc.org).
