She received her double major in piano performance and organ at CU, and has played at many churches since 1956.We are all thankful to Keron, not only for the beautiful music that she provides on Sunday mornings, but for her work in organizing the organists and selecting the music that we all enjoy!  Keron has been the organist and choir accompanist at UMC since 1992.

Not only does our Chancel Choir prepare us for worship each week; there are many other musical activities that are going on at our church. From the special music on Sunday mornings, to our organ and piano accompaniment, Sandy, our Director of Music Ministries, gives glory to God through song and music.
