Welcome to St. Cecilia's! I look forward to getnitg to know the other musicians in the diocese as we share resources, ideas, and knowledge and support each other in our common ministries. I'm Debbie Warden from King of Peace church in Kingsland. I lead an adult ensemble and share responsibilities for accompaniment at the services with two other musicians. I've been a church pianist more on than off since I was 12 years old when I began playing at my father's church, a small Baptist church in southeast GA. Like most church musician's in rural areas, I have a regular day (and sometimes night) job as a surgical nurse. So let us all know who you are!!
