Coming soon on Friday, February 21st , at 6:00 p.m: the Gold Canyon UMC Performing Arts Series will be presenting a Silent Film Gala, featuring three silent film shorts, accompanied by organist Dr. Matt Gender. Dr. Gender is currently Director of Worship Arts at Zumbro Lutheran Church in Rochester, MN as well as a touring concert organist. He is also an accomplished improviser, having participated in improvisation competitions and festivals across the US and Europe. His playing is always exciting and by accompanying some film shorts, it will be like the days before the ‘talkies,’ where the theatre organist improvises a movie sound track as well as sound effects. It’s sure to be a lot of fun. Admission is free and there will be popcorn. Bottled water is also permitted in the sanctuary. A free will offering will be received to support the organ project here at GCUMC. We hope to see you there.
