St John's is looking for a music director

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
 
For a year now we have been without a music director.  We have been extremely blessed to have  Melissa Pedersen playing organ for us since this time last year.  She does a terrific job, and we thank the Lord for her service to the church.  She will continue as long as we need her.
 
While we have been blessed in this way, it would be wonderful if the Lord would bless us with someone who is able to direct and lead a choir (requiring practice once a week and possibly singing in worship once or twice a month).   Many of the members of our congregation would really like to be part of a choir again including new people who are looking for a church.
 
It would also be good if this person was  familiar with praise bands and would be able to get one going here at St. John's for our 11am service, but this is not something required of the position.
 
This would be a part time, paid position requiring about 10 hrs a week depending on how much prep time is needed ( more during Advent, Christmas, lent, and Easter, less in the Summer time).
 
 
If any of you know of anyone who may be looking for such work, please let me know.  636-359-1061
 
 
Thank you!
Pastor Klaustermeier
