I have to be honest that the beloved Transfiguration hymn, "How Good, Lord, to Be Here" has been in my mind for the last few weeks since our January board meeting in Chicago. Your board gathered in prayer, song, discussion, and debate as we continue to work to nurture and equip musicians to serve and lead the church's song. Stay tuned for exciting developments about a reformatted year of "regional conferences" in 2018 and our executive director search. It is truly good to be here, to be ALCM and to be a part of the song of the church!
The Region 2 Newsletter is in the works again, but we need you! If you have events, concerts, happenings, or anything exciting that is happening in Region 2 that you would like to share, please send the info to me at
[email protected]. In the upcoming issue you will learn more about some of the members of our region as well as our regional officers!
