A Faithful Journey —
Celebration for Paola Perin
2pm • Worship Center
For nearly 25 years, Paola Perin has offered all these expressions of music and more to LTUMC. From the organ bench to the piano, her music has helped shape our worship, lift our voices in song, and mark the meaningful moments of our life together as a congregation. Many in our community have also experienced her gifts as a teacher and mentor, guiding students at the piano and nurturing a love of music that will last a lifetime.
Now a new chapter begins. As Paola steps into retirement from music ministry, she and her husband look forward to exploring the world together as their son graduates and heads off to college. Before she begins this next adventure, we invite the congregation to gather in gratitude for all she has done for us.
Join us for A Faithful Journey — a celebration honoring Paola’s years of faithful music ministry in our congregation. Come celebrate, remember, laugh, and cherish the many moments we have shared together. Let us offer Paola our love, prayers, and encouragement as she begins this exciting new season of life. We hope you will join us to help make this a joyful send-off worthy of the many years she has given to our church family.
What a musician. What a friend. What a delight. One era ends, and wonderful adventures await. TAP HERE to donate to a Gratitude Gift for Paola. (Paola's final Sunday will be May 10, with a reception between services in the Worship Center foyer.)
