“She makes us laugh… She makes us think… She calls us by name… We are learning lots.” These are some of the comments heard about our new choir director, Nancy Ruczynski.

After the sad death of Dr. Raleigh Bastine we had to do some searching to find another choir director, preferably one who could play as well as direct. After auditioning, and with input from choir as well as the church music committee, Nancy was the choice.

Nancy is currently the organist, musical arranger and orchestrator for the Bel Air Presbyterian Church in Beverly Hills. She lives in Granada Hills, and makes the weekly trip to Lancaster to practice with us on Friday night at 7:00. The choir continues to sing on the 2nd and 4th Sabbaths of each month.

The choir is learning new music and various vocal styles.

If you want to be invigorated after a busy week, come to choir practice on Friday nights at 7:00 PM! Your tiredness will evaporate, and you will be glad you did. Tenor and bass voices are especially needed.
