October

Thank you Vickie!

I'm not sure we realize how blessed we are. As I traveled around this summer I attended worship in quite a few churches. I can guarantee I didn't hear any musician better than Vickie Brooks. Apologetically, we perhaps take her for granted. She sits down at the piano and she can take us right into the peaceful presence of the Holy with her incredibly inspiring music. Sunday after Sunday she comes and hidden away in her little cubby she makes our worship services meaningful and beautiful with her lovely music.

She is patient with those who wait until the last minute and bring her very challenging music for her to play as they sing – you know who you are She leads our choir and challenges them to try new things and encourages them. Vickie has been a wonderful friend. So many of our choir members have found a compassionate listening ear when they've been troubled. She has suffered and prayed for us in our times of need and we have suffered and prayed for her and her family in their times of need.

Without a doubt she goes above and beyond the call of duty – because of course for her it isn't a duty. Vickie genuinely cares and loves. We admire what a great mom she is and what a great person she is. For your gifts of lovely music and your lovely spirit we thank you Vickie!

Shalom,
