Our very talented Music Director, Andrey Stolyarov, has put out an album entitled Improvisation in Isolation.
“This album was recorded during the 2020 COVID-19 quarantine, on my electric piano in my home studio. Every morning, after I warmed up, I recorded take after take of whatever came to mind - it was incredibly liberating to convey my emotions through music in real time. I'm not that great at talking about my feelings, so having this outlet was very helpful in this difficult time.”- Andrey Stolyarov
The album is available for purchase online at Bandcamp go to:

We have had an existing option to take credit cards on our website for several years, but we now have a new option that is directly connected to our church management software. It is secure. It gives options as to what you want to designate the funds be used for (your pledge, special outreach giving, etc). It has options for credit and debit cards as well as ACH transfers from your bank accounts.
This provides a safe method to continue to support the church and our missions without worrying about handling mail in these careful times.
If this option works for you then we would certainly recommend using it. We are still accepting physical donations through the mail as well. We appreciate your continuing support.
An important note - donations made through the Breeze website will incur a standard 3% processing fee (as do most merchants who accept credit cards). It is the cost of doing business but we wanted you to be aware that we will receive 97% of what you designate. It is therefore helpful for you to add 3% on to what you want us to receive (just think of it as accounting for sales tax when you go to the store). I realize that is not exact math but I will wait for one of you more capable homeschooling parents to get me that figure so I can share it :-).
You can find the portal to make online gifts to the church on the “donations online via Breeze” link to the left.
Thank you,
Pastor Brian
