Presbyterian Association of Musicians

Worship & music conferences:in 2022, pam continued hosting two worship & music conferences: 1-week in-person and one hybrid (in-person and online). The purpose was to offer an online option to those members still not comfortable attending in-person events and to model and provide best practices to those churches offering hybrid services. In 2022, 116 people attended online and 1,245 in-person over the two weeks. All 1,361 received access to the recordings of the online services for the remainder of the year. The 2022 attendance numbers were 95% of 2019 pre-covid attendance numbers, exceeding our budget projections and achieving its goal to provide valuable resources to its membership to utilize for the coming church year.

Call to worship subscriptions:the call to worship: liturgy, music, preaching, and the arts quarterly journal is published by the office of theology and worship of the Presbyterian church (u.s.a.) and serves as pam's professional journal. It is provided to all pam members in print and/or electronically through the members only website. The annual lectionary aids issue provides worship and music resources based on the scriptures of the revised common lectionary, including opening sentences, prayers of the day, hymn and song suggestions, and anthem selections. Three thematic issues in each volume of call to worship include regular columns on liturgy, music, preaching, and the arts; additional liturgical ideas and resources; book and music reviews; and liturgical artwork.
