Wesley's Spotlight is On...

Jean K Rowe
Director of Music, Organist, Pianist, Hand Bell Choir Director, Co-Worship Leader
Jean Rowe at the Piano
I was born in Elmira, N.Y. and at the age of four, my parents found me (after alerting all the neighbors I was missing) in the church up by Elmira College. I went to hear the music that was coming from there every Sunday. From that day on, my mother took me to church every Sunday! So, from the age of four through to my teen years in Youth Fellowship, through College into adulthood, I have always been active in a church.
I started playing the organ, when twelve, at the Episcopal Church in my hometown, Sayre, PA. My family moved there when I was ten and is just 17 miles from Elmira. My music teacher was the full-time organist at this church, and we spent many hours at the organ, rehearsing and learning. I played at the early service and she played at the more formal second service. Such Joy!
