Robert's favorite Bible verse: Proverbs 3:5, New International Version

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding."

Music Director: Ginny O'Shea

Ginny lives in Cameron NC, but she is originally from Long Island, NY.  She writes, "I found New Life Church through my neighbor who encouraged me to attend.  Soon, my husband and I felt a connection with the friendly, spiritual atmosphere.  When the pastor heard I was a retired musician, I was asked to play and sing for Sunday services, and I gladly accepted! " We are truly blessed to have Ginny serve our congregation with her gift of music -- she is truly talented, from arrangements of hymns to original compositions, she enriches our worship each and every week.

Ginny's favorite Bible verse: Psalms 95:1-7, NABRE

"Come, let us sing joyfully to the LORD; cry out to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with a song of praise, joyfully sing out our psalms. For the LORD is the great God, the great king over all gods, Whose hand holds the depths of the earth; who owns the tops of the mountains."
