Clark is Senior Editor of Curriculum Resources at CPH\, and has written hundreds of hymns\, many of which have been published at CPH in “One and All Rejoice”\, choral anthems and digital resources. She recently completed her doctoral dissertation on hymnody through the University of Bristol (UK). Lisa has also authored a number of books available from CPH\, including The Messengers series and several children’s books.\nKatie Schuermann is a widely published author and storyteller\, with several volumes of fiction to her credit\, including: “The Big Father and His Little Boy” (Kloria\, 2024); “The Beloved Son and His Brother” (Kloria\, 2025); the much beloved “Anthems of Zion” series\, including “House of Living Stones” (CPH\, 2014)\, “The Choir Immortal” (CPH\, 2015)\, and “The Harvest Raise” (CPH\, 2017); and her latest standalone novel\, “The Saints of Whistle Grove” (Kloria\, 2023). Her nonfiction books include: “He Remembers the Barren” (LL 2011; 2nd ed.\, EP 2017); “Pew Sisters” (CPH\, 2013); and “He Restores My Soul” (EP\, 2018).

Prevallet in remembrance of their daughter. Though Pamela Anne’s limited abilities prevented her from participating in many things other children could enjoy\, it was clear in her short life that music was dear to her\, in particular the sound of hymns practiced at home by her mother\, a church organist. It is thus fitting that she be remembered in this way. It is also a way of supporting seminary students and encouraging church music and liturgical musical excellence. For many years Mr. Prevallet was chairman of the Seminary’s Board of Regents. His widow\, Martha\, has served as a church organist for 40 years\, and resides in Blytheville\, Arkansas. \nEligible applicants to the Prevallet Hymn Competition may apply through the Financial Aid Office. This year’s deadline for applying is Aug. 1\, 2026.
