From the Director of Music 

My time with your wonderful congregation has been enriching.  I have enjoyed meeting and worshiping with each of you.  The music program has seen great changes during our time together.  Two changes in personnel top our list with my stepping in as Director of Music and Janice Parkinson-Tucker filling in while Marilyn was unable to be with us.  I want to take this opportunity to publicly thank Janice for her willingness to fill a void in our time of need.   

The choir has seen changes in membership as well, with some veteran singers moving on in their spiritual lives to serve God in different capacities, returning members again finding room in their lives for the choir and new additions filling our choir loft. 

The youth choir program has doubled through the addition of a cherub choir, also known as our FCC Bubblers.  Their pure joy of singing should be a lesson to all of us.  Our youth choir has also done a great job of leadership helping the younger singers see and hear an outstanding example of enthusiasm. Several members of the youth choir will be "graduating' to our Senior Choir next fall and are expectantly welcome! 

Our bell choir has welcomed three new ringers this year.  We have a goal of adding a Children's Chime Choir to our music program next fall, allowing our children to also participate in a bell experience.  Just as our two children's choirs serve as a stepping-stone to lifelong participation in a vocal worship music experience, a chime choir will provide a strong foundation to our Memorial Handbell Ensemble.   

Praise God.  You are a blessed spiritual community and I am honored to have served you. 

Soli Deo Gloria,
