Faith LUTHERAN CHURCH & SCHOOL WEEKLY N EWS W ELCOME T HOMAS W ALKENHORST ! July 27, 2014 B Y D ARYL K RUSE I am very happy to report that the Lord has completed the final piece of the puzzle by bringing to Faith Lutheran Church & School our a new music director, Mr. Thomas Walkenhorst of Rochester, MI. Thomas is a recent graduate of Central Michigan University with a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education & Voice and a minor in Choral Music. He attended Lutheran Schools in both grade school and high school and is very eager to share God's wonderful gift of music with the children and adults of Faith. He comes very highly recommended by the two elementary and middle school Principals he worked under as student teacher and long term substitute teacher. When I contacted the Principals, they both responded right away to share the high regard they had for Thomas and the work he provided at their schools. They both enthusiastically recommended him. Outside of music Thomas likes playing basketball & volleyball and working with computers. Thomas will teach ECE through 8th grade music classes, lead our school choirs, direct band & handbells and serve as the church music director, which will include directing the adult choir, handbells and leading the contemporary worship service. (We will be seeking to fill the role of organist for our traditional services). What a blessing it is to see the Lord's hand at work in bringing Christian educators & leaders to serve the children and adults of Faith Lutheran Church & School and their families. Please keep all of them in your prayers as we eagerly look forward to sharing the Love of Christ with His dear children.
