National Association of Parish Musicians (NPM) Youngstown Chapter

 

Please keep an eye out for two Dinner and Dialogue events coming near to you!  These are dinners where we share in fellowship and get a chance to catch up!  Dates and locations will be announced next week.  We will have two of these events in the fall and two of these events in the spring.  We are also planning an Advent Taize prayer service, a Tenebrae service, and a new music reading session as well.  Many exciting things are on the horizon! However, we need YOU to come and participate! We want to promote and support the musicians of this diocese as much as possible and we need your musical talents to help with that mission.  We look forward to making music with you!

The National Association of Pastoral Musicians (Website: www.npm.org) has recently released a hiring document as a guide for pastors (and equivalent clergy leaders) and search committees for hiring a Director of Music Ministries. This resource goes step by step through the process, providing helpful information on forming a search committee, drafting a position description, advertising the position, interviewing and auditioning candidates, and making the final selection for a Director of Music Ministries.
