I came as a substitute organist for just one month in Dec. 2001. After a little persuasion, I decided to stay! What is your role? I play the organ and piano for the traditional, Lenten and special seasonal services as well as accompany the Chancel Choir and/or soloists. What is your favorite part about your role? It is rewarding to play for a congregation that likes to sing. I also know a well kept secret; choir people are fun!
