Dear Members and Friends of Trinity Grace,
Every week our music team faithfully leads us in worship of our kind and gracious God. Ever since we launched worship just over 6 years ago, Carlyle Aguren has served on part time staff as our Music Team Coordinator. Carlyle has done a great job at leading our music team and cultivating a reverent and joyful worship culture on Sunday mornings.
As Trinity Grace continues to grow, so does our music team. With more musicians interested in using their gifts to serve our church, there is an increased need to provide some more technical musical leadership for our musicians.
With this need in mind, the session of Trinity Grace took action last month to hire another part time Music Team co-coordinator. Janna Riggs is excited to step into this new role and work alongside Carlyle to provide more technical support and leadership for our musicians.
Both Carlyle and Janna will serve Trinity Grace side by side as part time staff members with responsibility for overseeing our music team and leading worship on Sunday mornings. Carlyle will provide leadership from the front, continuing to cultivate a gracious, reverent, and warm worship culture. Janna will come alongside Carlyle by handling some administrative work and providing more technical musical direction to our team.
We are excited to welcome Janna as a part time staff member at Trinity Grace, and we look forward to how God will use her gifts to bless our music team and our congregation in the coming months and years.
When asked what she loves most about worship at Trinity Grace, Janna said: “I appreciate the thoughtfulness our leadership puts into the liturgy. I love how the congregation participates. I leave our worship service having been reminded about the truth of who God is and who I am. In our worship, as I reflect on my own joys and struggles and those of my brothers and sisters in Christ, I appreciate the beauty of Jesus in all situations and circumstances.”
Janna is eager to step into this new role as she seeks to help our music team reach their full potential. She says, “We have many gifted musicians. I am excited about the challenge of helping the team to fit together cohesively. And excited to grow and learn with the team in understanding, skill, and ability. And I love the humility of our team - both desiring to bring glory to God in excellence and also not taking ourselves too seriously.”
Please give thanks to the Lord for his provision and welcome Janna as she steps into this new role!
