I used to play up front and sing for PRPCA. We’ve met–once, I think. I was saved at that church when I was 16… and I’d been going there since I was 15. I’m 23 now. The music has ALWAYS been how-you-say “not so hot.” However, I do believe that the members of the congregation enjoy music and would like to sing and hear bongos and bass guitar and all of that. Because they have heard all of those things. One time, during our Christmas Dinner, I played the trumpet (poorly) along with one of the young homeschoolers and a middle-aged flute player. There is a little bit of talent and a whole lot of good intentions at that church.

I love those people so much. I love that church so much. And I went to the music magnet high school and majored in music for a little while in college… and I just had to deal with the fact that the church I loved so much lacked in the musical area. But they’re really trying. They see the need for improvement, which is why they hired you, I would imagine. There are some gifted musicians at PRPCA. They’ve played for the youth group through my high school and college years. Dave didn’t know how to play… so the youth and college students had to do it.

I think you should look in the youth group for musicians. And if you’re willing, I would certainly come sing up front whenever I’m in town, to help out. Even if that sounds kinda strange, or arrogant, that’s not how I mean it.

I am seriously considering moving back to Orlando in January. If so, I’d come to PRPCA again and I’d fill whatever spot you’d let me fill, in the music ministry.

I’m thinking of the American Church in general. It seems to me there might be a slight expectation of our ability to entertain as well as lead in worship.
