Church of the Messiah, Woods Hole, MA - is currently looking for a part-time organist and choirmaster for 10 hours per week. The organ is a 1889 rebuilt Schlicker. Specifics on the organ may be found on the Cape and Islands AGO website. I look forward to working in a collegial relationship with the organist-choirmaster to further the ministry of music in this Episcopal congregation. The choir right now is small, but has a good capability of growing given our location in Woods Hole. We follow a traditional form of worship for the Episcopal Church even as I am now beginning to introduce some of the newer liturgical forms which have been written by the Episcopal Church's Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music. The reason for the vacancy is the most recent organist has just retired after serving here for 10 years.
