Dear Grace Community,
I write with an update about music ministry at Grace. I shared earlier that we were in the process of hiring an interim music coordinator. We now have that person, but it’s actually two people. In June, we envisioned the position based on what we knew at the time. Now that there is more research out, and now that the Session has approved the music task’s force report that allows for some singing, the position is bigger.
Because of that we split the position in two and hired Kelsey Wise and Ben Rivers to lead. Kelsey and Ben are both part of the music ministry already, and I am confident in their leadership and excited to work with them in this new way. Kelsey will coordinate all music for the sanctuary and outdoor services. Ben will coordinate all music for the Great Room services. They begin these roles on September 1.
This week our music search team met again for the first time since May. We are ready to post the job description for the permanent position. If you know of someone who should apply, please encourage them! Team members are Pam Head, Dave McIntire, Charlene Randle, Janet Rhoads, and Bill Vavra.
I look forward to worshiping with some of you via Facebook Live this Sunday, and I’m excited for those who will gather in backyards around the city for the retreats.
In Christ,
Catherine
