Salisbury is where he did his undergraduate work, is closer to family and it's also less expensive to live there. SPRC will begin another search for a Music Director. Please pray that God will direct our efforts and that we will find the right person for Page. Thank you to Karen Davis for continuing to share her talents with us as our interim Music Director. We are very fortunate to have her with us and appreciate her dedication and hard work.
