Music Notes

As the season for the musical groups at SUMC comes to a close, I look back with wonderful memories on what the past year offered with music. As a the new Minister of Music, everyone has made me feel quite welcome, particularly those with whom I have worked. The chancel choir, the Last Psalm, and the Children’s Choir did an excellent job throughout this year, including putting on a marvelous Christmas pageant, singing in a great Christmas and Easter Celebration, not to mention doing an excellent job from week to week, getting Ready to Fly, and tackling other languages, from Zulu to Ibo. Not only have I enjoyed the musical aspect of all of these groups, but the Spiritual, as well. It has truly been a blessing to have choir members share from their own lives and relationships with Christ in weekly devotions and prayer, and I know from many in the congregation that the Holy Spirit has uplifted and encouraged you through the music these groups have shared. What an awesome God we serve to have given all of us such a wonderful gift!
