In 1972 I started directing the choir in our then small church, working for $25 a week. Today, my position has evolved into a full-time position at the same church. Our official worship philosophy requires a 'blended' approach - using the best of the traditional hymns along with the best of current worship styles. It's been quite a ride. Even tho I own and enjoy playing keyboards, I do not play in our services. I am in charge of the entire music program and we are blessed with very talented individuals who all volunteer their time and talent. (Our organist is paid) I hesitate to give more boring details about my ministry position, but if anyone has a question, I'd be happy to answer. In conclusion let me just say that I am doing what I love to do and feel it's a priviledge to serve in this way. It's very fulfilling.
