My organ and piano talents include assisting multiple levels of faith and civic community music activities. The past 45 years have been assisting Praise Bands, Choirs, Special Programming: such as Blue Monday (Dec 22), Advent/Lent Services, Weddings, Funerals and Retreat Events and nursing home performances.
The two-and-a-half year’s college training experience included traveling with (’77) small 20 and (’78-79) 50 vocal choral group provided several opportunities to perform hymns, soloist specials and accompany congregational sing.
The 1980 – 2017 experiences incorporated into studio or private instructions multiple lessons in an organ and advanced piano levels 1-9 studies.
The United Methodist Laity Servant Leading in Worship, by Diane Kofahl, Oct 2015, expanded my emerging ministries experience with alternations through well-known tunes to century style hymns. This explanation in reviving our volume within the music library for congregational Spiritual Growth!
Laity Servant’s call was answered in 2000 in New Milford UMC. Actively involved in multiple levels of retreats, Convocations and other events with United Methodist Men and assisting in leading worship with special Holy Land Slide and Music Package.
Emerging ministries advanced in 2016 with Sky Lake Women/Men’s/Family Retreat with my help in organizing Praise Band, PowerPoint slides and music specials. These were also taken back to a sister church in the Fayetteville UMC for their choir and worship services for one-year experience among their parishioners.
The Word of God, Upper Room Devotional on-line, Prayer and continual media connections through diversity of music in my daily private meditation and studies resonates into advance worship, witness and awareness of God’s blessings passed forward unto others and the church parishioners.
My heart is always open into new ventures in the Faith and Civic Journey.
I look forward to our time together.
Sincerely,
Thomas F Hall
