Thank You, Providence Choir!

Today’s anthem marks the end of the choir season (Sept.-May), and I’d like to thank the choir for the beauty and glory they have added to our worship throughout the year.  Please allow me to recognize those who participated in the choir this season:

Rachel Bozarth, Jack Boeve, Matt Grove, Joanie Harris, Rhonda Hoard, Barb Hoover, Lisa Hoover, Dan Hayes, Richard Hiers, Jennifer Horne, Skip Jaeggi, Debbie Keane, Mike Koller, Nathan Koller, Rachel LeCroy, Cassie Linton, David Linton, Jenny Linton, Christina McDonnell, Stephen McEwan, Becky Meyers, Amy Pratt, Hannah Shields, Amy Sterner, Tim Werkema, and Tim Weston. 

A special thanks to our faithful and indispensable choir accompanist Joanie Harris.  Thanks also to instrumentalists Barb Hoover, Tim Weston, and Bob Wooldridge, to soloists Samantha Rammaha and Lori Shaffer, to Pastor Meyers and Melanie Carter for placing the anthem texts and music announcements in the bulletins, to Jennifer Horne for handling the music department invoices, and to the Deacons and Pastor LeCroy for their help in setting up for special choral functions.

I would also like to recognize the Youth Choir and accompanist Doria Dawson for their contribution to the music ministry and their excellent performance during Lessons and Carols. 

Finally, a special thanks to Tim Werkema for his many instrumental accompaniments and arrangements, and his leadership of the preschool children’s choir.

Our church is blessed because you all share your talents in the service of Christ’s body.  Thank you for lovingly and faithfully doing so!
