The Jeannine Milne Music Ministry is a music ministry and outreach program. The choir of the First Presbyterian Church in Honeoye Falls made a recording of favorite anthems of Jeannine Milne. During Jeannine’s illness the choir had made tapes of many of these to help her through a very difficult time. After her death we decided to make a recording (CD’s and tapes) that we could give to anyone who is ill, injured, shut-in, dealing with a loss, or dealing with any kind of challenge. Over the years we have sent our music to many places in the United States and even to England. It is heartwarming to hear how much our music has helped people. Following are a few of the ways that it has been used – at nursing homes, in the operating room, during chemotherapy treatments, and driving back and forth from the hospital when going through a crisis.
We need you to help us. We need to have you let us know if there is anyone that you know that might like to receive one of these CD’s. There is no charge. You many contact Anne Erway (624-3658) or Jan Dixon at the church office (624-2160). You do not need to be affiliated with our church. (04)
