On Sunday, June 26th, our congregation gathered together to bid two very fond farewells: one to our band member Harry Vrooman, who’s been with us on piano since the very first WellSprings service – and one, to our Founding Minister, Rev. Ken Beldon. Our band took one last photo all together with Harry, after a Sunday service<\/a> featuring two surprise musical tributes: a performance of “A Beautiful Noise” by singers Andrea Tollison and Melissa Davignon, and a moving rendition of Warren Zevon’s “Keep Me In Your Heart” by the full band. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, we held the Celebration of Rev. Ken’s Ministry, put together over the course of several months by our Celebration Team. Lunch was served in the Dining Hall, decorated in a “Left Shark<\/a>” motif, as a nod to one of Rev. Ken’s favorite pop culture moments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
