Meet 4 Musicians

Mountain View Lutheran Church has been blessed with several talented musicians.  We have four year-around musicians at this time, and several winter visitors who share their time and talents with us while they are here.

Judith Watters, Music Director, plays the organ for 2 services and leads the chime choir.  She holds a BA in vocal music education from Chicago State University.   She also has a Masters’ degree in nursing from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and worked in public health and as a nursing professor.  Last year she celebrated her 50th anniversary playing the organ and directing choirs in church.  She loves MVLC and is grateful to be here.

Fran Kaspar is a gifted pianist who holds a Masters’ degree in piano from ASU.  She has taught school music and has a piano studio for many years in her home.  She judges piano competitions and is a very capable accompanist.  We are blessed to have her at MVLC.

Jenni Hale has been playing piano and organ at MVLC for a long time.  She had been the accompanist for the Praise Team and Gospel Lights, but now is doing a wonderful job as the Praise team director.  She has a degree in music from Mesa Community College and has accompanied many choirs across the Phoenix area since she was in high school. She is the 3rd generation in her family to play for church services and lead choirs.

Marcia Goodrich leads the adult choir and Gospel Lights. She often leads the Sing-Along and we are blessed to have her sing solos as well.  She is a valuable member of the AV team and also leads the Divorce recovery group.
