Dana & Chad

Congratulations to Dana and Chad on their marriage! Dana and Chad were married on Saturday evening, October 31 in a candlelight wedding ceremony at All Saint's Episcopal Church in Gastonia. There were married in the beautiful sanctuary in renaissance inspired attire. For the prelude, I performed a variety of classical music, including Ave Maria by Bach/Gounod, Sheep May Safely Graze by Bach, and Largo from The Four Seasons by Vivaldi. For the processional, I performed Canon in D by Pachelbel for the entrance of the bridal party and Bridal March from A Midsummer Night's Dream by Wagner for the entrance of the bride. During communion, I performed Stairway to Heaven by Page/Plant. For the recessional, I performed Trumpet Tune by Clarke. I had so much fun performing at this beautiful wedding ceremony! Congratulations again this beautiful couple on their gorgeous October wedding!

October Events!

On Saturday, October 24, I performed at the 21st pastoral anniversary of Bishop Thomas Lee at Senator Bob Martin Agricultural Center in Williamson. I performed at his 20th pastoral anniversary last year and was thrilled to be asked to perform at this special event again! I performed a variety of music during the cocktail hour and dinner, including What a Wonderful World, At Last, Can't Help Falling in Love, Ribbon in Sky, and How Sweet it is (To be Loved by You).I was honored to celebrate this special anniversary with Bishop Lee and this wonderful congregation! Congratulations to Bishop Lee on his 21 years in ministry!

On Sunday, October 25, I performed for the Sunday morning worship service at Martha's Chapel Christian Church in Apex. I performed at this beautiful historic church for Chris and Rebecca's wedding back in June where I met Pastor Bob Brinson. He invited me back to perform for his congregation. I performed a variety of pieces including Be Thou My Vision, Precious Lord Take My Hand, and Peace, Live a River. I had so much fun performing for this wonderful congregation! Thank you Pastor Bob for inviting me to perform at your beautiful church!
