Aldine Choir:

Joined choir under the direction of Kay Fogg

Favorite things about singing in the choir is the sense of harmony & family

Thoughts on her music ministry:

For Jeanie, music is pure worship.

Doesn't sing a song unless she feels God calling her through the holy spirit to sing a particular solo.

Her music is a vehicle, used by God to draw others closer to God or to bring comfort through the Holy Spirit. (This is what leads her to sing at funerals)

Summing up her ministry:

Jeanie's ministry is one of encouragement

Helping people to be all they can be in the Lord.
