Pat Hoover, Director of Music and Organist
Susie Reisdorf, Choir Director
Pat Hoover has been faithfully leading God's people in worship with the gift of music for almost fifty years. In her selection of preludes, anthems, offertory music, and postludes for each worship service, Pat reviews the scripture texts for the day and considers the potential focus of the sermon. Her discernment is remarkable! As the pastor often observes, when the choir sings the anthem before the sermon, it is as if Pat has already heard the sermon and has chosen an anthem that best complements the message for the day. On many Sundays, the choir almost sings the sermon before it is even preached! With musical sensitivity and theological depth, Pat Hoover and the choir, under the leadership of Choir Director Susie Reisdorf, truly help to lead God's people with wonderful music in worship.
