This month we celebrated James Turner's 21 years of stellar service to St. Stephen's as Music Director and Organist.
James led into the service with three beautiful preludes by Bach and Pachelbel.
Fr Garrett presented a video of appreciation with contributions from parishioners old and new….
...and he presented gifts of appreciation to James and Claire.
James, an accountant by day, reflected on the interesting path that led to his musical avocation, and his memories of decades at St. Stephen's.
It was both special and appropriate to have our two long-serving rectors who James worked with make an appearance -- Fr Nils was there in person along with Kelly...
...and Fr Harry made his appearance via video!
Thank you, James and Claire, for 21 years of outstanding musical contributions to St. Stephen’s!
