This stage display was in the Alexander Twilight Theatre at Lyndon State College, Lyndonville, VT for the Vermont Conference Annual Meeting June 2010. The conference theme was "Changing Lives: Fearless Disciples in Action." Because the conference was held just after Pentecost Sunday, the worship committee chose to go with a Pentecost stage theme. Fifty tee pee palms were used representing forty days from Easter to Ascension Day and ten days to Pentecost. The tee pee palms were painted silver and hung at random with monofilament across the stage. With red lights and fan air movement on the palms they would flicker similar to fire.

The triptych screens symbolize out journey “Becoming
Church for a new Day,” the theme for the Vermont Conference, United Church of
Christ 213th Annual Meeting. The whole annual meeting was designed as
a worship service with Isaiah 55 as its base scripture. The first screen “COME” represents our past.
Familiar objects symbolize the strong foundation of the church in ritual and
traditions, that which keeps us grounded in God’s love. “LISTEN.” Our second screen represents the present.
Learning to listen as the spirit of God guides as we struggle budgets and the
finances of the conference, issues of social justice, uprooting racism along
with other topics of social conflict that touch the hearts of society. Listening
with open hearts and minds while keeping our eyes on God as we make decisions
that not only affect us today but also in the future. The third screen “RESPOND” is our future “Becoming
Church for a New Day.” Growing, vibrant and filled with new life. Reaching
out, nurturing, caring and sharing God’s love as we watch the seeds that are
planted in the present grow and bloom in the future. The triptych screens are 42” wide and 14’ high.
Displayed on stage at the Cascella Theater, Fine Arts Center at Castleton State
College, Castleton, VT. May 29-May 31, 2008 Triptych concept developed by the Annual Meeting Worship Committee Designed and created by Ned Davis AIFD, CMLFD
