  âMy church family means everything to me. They showed me tangible ways in
  which I could share my faith with others, ultimately not just being saved
and on my way to heaven, but changing the world so that others can enjoy and
   be a part of that party with me as well.â â The Rev. Ronny Miller-Yow,
                    chaplain of Philander Smith College.


UMTV: Young Black Church Leader

   LITTLE ROCK (UMNS) â The Rev. Ronnie Miller-Yow's style of preaching
   resonates with all ages but especially young people. As chaplain of
   Philander Smith College in Little Rock, Miller-Yow has many opportunities to
   help young people become leaders in their church and community. He also
   leads by example in his role as national president of Black Methodists for
   Church Renewal.

   the issue of music in worship at âThe Singing Church: Current Practices and
   Emerging Trends in Congregational Songâ March 19-21. The school has

   concerns of a modern congregation, such as illness or social injustice; how
   to plan worship for multicultural communities; the role of the hymnal;
   successful methods for teaching new songs to a congregation, and how to make
   the most out of traditional music.
