If you’ve been to our Traditional Worship services, you’ve heard a sample of Karin’s musical gifts on the organ. As our part-time Music Associate, Karin leads our Women’s Ensemble and is involved with preparing music for traditional worship and staying in contact with members of the PCTR music ministry and the broader community. She recently retired after full-time music teaching and chairing the music department at Ocean County College. Did you know, however, that Karin once had career plans outside of music? Before she was introduced to the pipe organ, she wanted to be a geologist. As fun as that might have been, we’re glad she met the organ so we could be blessed by her talent in worship! As she recently shared, God is at work “when my music-making helps draw people together and closer to God in a way that transcends the music itself.”
