July 11, 2019 Saying
Farewell
We knew
she was going to college this fall. We
knew this day was coming. But with the
movements and changes and life in the summertime, I didn’t know it was going to
be so soon. Sarah Gorman, gifted student
of our own Mary Lu Farrell, will be playing for us for the last time ‘officially’
this Sunday, July 14, 2019. I say
officially, because Mary Lu retired a little while back, but she still comes
when needed.
We have
met her successor, Sebastian, who will begin a week from Sunday. I say successor, because I have yet to meet a
musician here who has given us the gift of music who could ever be
replaced.
She
doesn’t know it, but we are going to make a bit of a deal of her last ‘official’
Sunday on the 14th during worship.
I invite you to come worship and to wish her all the best.
We have
been blessed by her presence with us, and also by Mary Lu, who continues to
stay connected to us, helping us with finding accompanists for our worship
service. We in turn have been a ‘training
ground’, about to work with our third young person to ‘train them up’ in the
work and joy of church music. This works
out best for us all. We can continue to
afford to have music played for us during worship and we provide the
opportunity for an up and coming musician to gain experience as a church musician.
