April 2017 - Vol. 3 - No. 3

Greetings one and all!!

Spring has sprung as we head into April. The flowers and trees are in bloom. The colors are enlivening and the warmth is welcoming. So, with the season of spring in full swing, here is the next issue of “Theodore Talks”. Enjoy!

All things music and creative!

If you remember from last month, I launched my new project, Seasonal Scriptures in Song on Patreon.com. The first month has been fruitful regarding building my patron base. My goal of ten new patrons for the month was accomplished. Plus, the release of the project’s first song was made available to the Café Latte level and higher patrons on March 21st. I will continue to network and market so as to grow the support each month, thus serving more and more people and congregations.

Thank you to everyone who has become a patron!

I would love to have your support in this exciting venture, even if only at the $1 or $3 level! To find out how you can become one of my patrons, check out my Patreon project page at: www.patreon.com/TheodoreJander.

For many around the world, Holy Week has arrived. Choirs, instrumentalists, handbell ensembles, and the like have been preparing, and rehearsing for weeks to aid in the celebratory, reflective, devotional, and praise-filled worship services of this Holy time. A smile and a thank you will go a long way in showing your support for all their hard work.

Living Life to the +Plus!

Celebrating the faith of my daughter!
My daughter, Ellie Faith, will be confirmed on April 23rd. It is hard to believe she has reached this wonderful milestone. Ellie continues to grow and mature into an intelligent and beautiful young lady. In celebration of her life and faith, I am sharing with my readers her confirmation verse, which is an amazing expression of her middle name, “Faith.”

John 14:27 - Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
