Music

Rev Dona Smith-Powers Rev. Dona Smith-Powers is an ecumenical minister who directs seniors’ groups in three churches – Methodist, Presbyterian, and American Baptist.   She also assists with worship at NCF by playing the piano and occasional preaching. Dona attended Pacific School of Religion and American Baptist Seminary of the West, and is ordained in the American Baptist tradition.Dona believes that: Music in the church is not just entertainment. It is a means to connect people with one another in community and with their Creator. Therefore, the instruments should never overpower the people, but should be part of the team. Hymns need to be carefully chosen and “singable.” The words of hymns need to reflect the theology of the the gathered community.
