The Music Advisory Team is Listening
Listening Sessions: Sunday, June 12
10:30 a.m., Room LL05
& 11:30 a.m., Sanctuary
With last year's end of the year departure of our Director of Music, our Organist, Ross Cowing, has more than capably filled in as Interim Director of Music. We are exceptionally grateful for Ross' additional leadership, but we know that at some point he'd like to hand over some of the responsibility. To that end, a Music Advisory Team has been working in consultation with our Staff Parish Relations Committee to clarify our needs and to do some visioning about future music ministries. Ross, Chamber Choir, Chancel Choir, Bell Choir and Blessed Brass members have all been part of the conversation. The team would also like to hear from others in the congregation.
Please add your input:
- Attend a listening session
- Return the Music Conversations questionnaire to the church by this Sunday. (See link below or pick one up at the Info Desk.)
- Send your ideas about our music ministry needs to [email protected].
Thank you!
