For three years, I served as organist at St. Stephen Evangelical Lutheran Church, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
St. Stephen celebrated it's 150th Anniversary in 2004.
St. Stephen is unique in that it is a bilingual Spanish-English congregation of the LCMS.
While there, some of my dedicated musical friends and I formed a choir. |
