From Pastor Roger:
"I would like to take this opportunity to honor and personally thank Kathie Wagner who is an invaluable part of the choir ministry here at First Church. For the better part of the last decade, Kathie has been a faithful choir member. Her weekly commitment to memorize her choir music and really internalize what she sings is unmatched and she spends much time outside of our weekly rehearsals working to learn her music thoroughly.
Beyond her more "up-front" participation in choir, Kathie works behind the scenes each week to organize all of printed music that our choir uses each week. On Wednesdays, she leaves her job early (typically around 4 PM) to help prepare music and materials needed for the midweek choir rehearsals. Then, after every Sunday morning service, she organizes all the music we have used that week and files it away again. It may not sound like much, but her efforts keep us all organized, save me valuable time and help keep everything running along smoothly. It is a thankless job and one she does as a service to her choir family, her church, and ultimately her Lord. Her sweet spirit and willingness to serve wherever she can is the icing on the cake!
Thanks Kathie, for all you do to help augment the choir ministry at KC First Church!"
