The Power and the Beauty of Words

An eclectic mix of poetry in spoken language will be recited by members of our BuxMont community. Song lyrics will be shared by members of Creedless Creekwater Revival. It promises to be a memorable morning as poet lovers and CCR explore some of our favorite and lyrical masterpieces.

Mary Youtz is a retired journalist who joined BuxMont in 1993 with her husband Ed. Currently, she sings in the choir, and serves as a Worship Associate and as a member of the Caring Team. Mary also does volunteer work in the Lehigh Valley where she lives, serving as co- facilitator for the Support Group for Survivors of Suicide Loss. In her spare time, Mary enjoys reading books, crocheting and, above all, spending time with grandchildren.

Creedless Creekwater Revival, aka “CCR,” was started almost sixteen years ago by a small group of BuxMont “instrument-focused” musicians as a place where predominantly pop, rock, folk, and folk-rock BuxMont instrumentalists and singers could get together to make some music, mostly for fun, but also to help out occasionally with Sunday service music, and perhaps be a part of already established annual concerts.  Its informal organizational meeting drew an enthusiastic group of folks. Names for the group were discussed, and the name “Creedless Creekwater Revival” caught on as appropriate and fun.  From the start, CCR was and still is a no-audition band/ensemble for players and singers of all levels who are willing to practice at least a little during the week and be ready to rehearse on Thursday evenings for whatever project or performance we might be working on at the time

CCR’s performers can vary quite a bit for any given performance or “gig,” with members being in or out depending on what else may be going on in their lives.  For this particular Sunday service, the CCRs are Dena Condron, Jennifer Worthington, Howard Barkan, Bob Chalmers, Tom Pirrone, Matt Plummer, Dave Porigow, Nick Scull, Mike Sherman, Greg Sturn, Elias Warren, and Howard Weitz.

Sound like fun?  Talk to Greg or Matt to see how you could join up.
