This is our choir group members . The lady wearing the Cenertric shirt is Erin Hale. She plays the keyboard and helps us to prepare for upcoming Sunday choir pieces. Our previous practice choir director had to leave our church because they both lived in Cedarville, OH. He taught at Cedarville University but with teaching and driving it was to much driving to come to Urbancrest.
The Choir comes on stage at 7:30 to bring our work together as band and Choir. Pastor Bickers is leading both Choir and band. Nick Killian who is our volunteer tech guy comes and sees if all the microphones are working and is open for questions with Planning Center a app for all our choir music. He also puts the songs on screen for the Choir on Wednesday nights.
Pastor Bickers when he was a child loved to play the drums. I wanted take a picture of David playing because it was an important memory of childhood. He does not know how to play percussion but the inspiration of the drums was still a wonderful memory to take a picture of and remind him of his past.
Pastor Bickers is not just involved in choir at Urbancrest but has a passion for missions. Urbancrest supports many missionaries in and outside of the United States. Key West, Florida is one of the places that Urbancrest supports and Pastor Bickers is from Florida. He volunteers and serves every year because his passion is not just his home but preaching the gospel to the lost people in Florida.
