Welcome Our New Director of Music in Chapel
Please welcome Erin DeBoer-Moran as our new director of music in the Chapel. Erin is contracted to coordinate and lead the music for our weekly Wednesday Chapel service of Holy Communion. This is a part-time position as she also leads music in two other local congregational settings. Erin offers the right blend of honoring traditional worship with an experimental openness to how God might be leading us in our worship practice in the future. She will be working closely with Dr. Thomason and the Chapel staff to bring meaningful music and art into the spiritual life of our community.
