Stephen Beals is a retired Presbyterian pastor who served a tiny church with no musician members and filled that void by writing several songs for worship. He also wrote some songs used in productions by the Murder Mystery Musical Comedy Theatre Troupe he directed for 15 years. Stephen is a graduate of Earlham School of Religion and is currently serving as a Bridge Minister for Second UCC Church in Palmer, MA. He is working on getting his songs into a notation format to share them, a task he struggles with, and welcomes advice. Stephen Beals is a new member of UCCMA. Contact him at
