Organ concert to be this Sunday

David Lynn Ward, son of Leon and Carole Ward of Hedley, will be performing in concert on the pipe organ at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 20, in the sanctuary of the First United Methodist Church.

Some of the selections Ward will be performing include “Toccata” and “Fugue in D Minor,” “Cantabilie,” “Scenes of Childhood,” and “Toccata.”

Ward has studied music at Wayland Baptist University and served as interim music director of the First Christian Church. He has taught piano/voice lessons through WBU and was a chorus member in the “TEXAS” musical drama in 1998.

Ward is an 1996 graduate of Hedley High School and received his associate of science degree from Clarendon College in 1998.

After graduation this year from Wayland, Ward plans to be an overseas journeyman missionary for two years and then return to the US to obtain a degree on the doctorate level to teach at a university.

The community is invited to attend and hear the music of this gifted organist.
