at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, who will be the conference 
preacher; the Rev. David Steele, humorist, author and retired Presbyterian 
pastor, who will be the conference Bible study leader; and Jane Manton 
Marshall, widely known composer, author and teacher, who will be music 
leader.

conducting, children's choir conducting, textile arts, music for pre-school 
children, worship and music service planning, youth choir conducting, 
handbell choir conducting and music composition on computer.
