Music Ministry Transition Team Online Listening Meeting
2025-05-20 19:00 - 20:45 | Virtual
Since its inception last summer, the Music Ministry Transition Team (MMTT) has been actively engaged in helping church leadership and the Interim Director of Music Ministries move our music program forward. We’ve come to a point where we need to hear from congregants. We have already had three in-person listening meetings. We know that in-person meetings do not work for everyone, so we have scheduled a Zoom meeting on May 20 at 7 p.m.
Our objective is to hear your thoughts about how the music program has been evolving so far, what you might envision for the future, and what you have found positive about our current music program, and what we need to improve. The MMTT looks forward to hearing about your feelings, ideas, and suggestions, which will play a vital role in planning for the future of the music program at church.
You can access the Zoom meeting here.
