We must truly strive to do what Jesus would do. He ever lives to intercede for us. We should do likewise for one another.

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which ye have showed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister -- Hebrews 6:10 (KJV)

Deborah (Debbie) M. Looney is our new church organist. Debbie began her service here on Palm Sunday, April 4, 2004. Debbie replaces our interim/retired church organist, Louise Strother, who retired in August of 2002, but graciously served until we were able to find her replacement.

Our Pianist is Monica Mazzell. Her interest in piano began as a small child when her grandmother began to teach her simple songs. The first song she learned was "O For a Thousand Tongues." Her interest grew and at age 11 she began formal studies.

She began playing as church pianist in her home church while still a teenager, and has done so ever since. We are pleased and fortunate to have her talents as OUR church pianist.
