I posted the giveaway on my blog 🙂
I really enjoyed the audios……In addition, since I am an early intermediate player, I think that I can master the piano scores for my small church. I love your variety and teaching examples.
I can never thank you enough Jenifer for your website for the church pianist. There are those who want to serve, but, feel our talents are to small, however, your suggestions and recommendations make us believe in ourselves. Thank you!!!!! Still working on the nervousness…….
I have really enjoyed Gina’s arrangements and would love to win this book!
I read your blog faithfully. Your shared knowledge helps me greatly in my small ministry as pianist for a Sunday church service for senior citizens in our Retirement complex. You are a blessing.
I would love to have this book to use for preludes and offeratories at church. Listening to the samples was very uplifting!
Humm … Lisa, Tiffany, Melissa, Dorothy, Julia, Diane, Tami, well I know in small town rural America the stereotypical a church organist is a “little old lady” at least age sixty or above. So, maybe it is a surprise to find a young guy, who reads blog and pretends to play music for a small church.
Eugene, the best piano players I’ve met so far in the small, rural churches I’ve been to have all been talented young men willing to serve the Lord with what He’s given them! In fact, four of the five piano students from my church right now are guys. I’m glad you’re reading Jenifer’s blog, it’s a blessing.
These arrangements sound wonderful! I have been looking for a new book of music that I can get excited about. Thank you for this neat giveaway.

Would love to use this in upcoming offertories!
