Good Wishes for John Richardson
With gratitude for his musical gifts and time with us, we inform you that John Richardson has resigned as Covenant's Director of Traditional Music and Principal Organist. His last Sunday will be July 30, 2017.
During his time with us, John has faithfully led the Covenant choirs in offering ambitious, memorable arrangements that have enriched our worship life. With his skill for bringing together voices, organ, handbells and other instruments of all kinds, John has continued Covenant's tradition of musical excellence. John says, "I will miss working with the lovely people of Covenant... from the energetic and fun youth singers and ringers, to the dedicated adult bell choir, and of course, the wonderful Covenant choirs. I am very grateful for them and for all who have graciously supported my ministry here. May God continue to be glorified."
We invite all to a reception following the 11 o'clock worship service on July 30, to wish John success and happiness as he moves ahead and to give thanks for his ministry amongst us.
