    Description

    Pianist to play hymns for seniors in Alameda, CA

    We are looking for pianists in the Alameda, CA area.

    SpiritCare Ministry to Seniors provides worship services and spiritual support to people of all faiths in care communities. We need pianists to accompany the singing during these weekday services. The services are 30-40 minutes long and located in care communities in Walnut Creek, CA. This is an ideal position for a hobby pianist, a college student, a retiree who loves church music, or an accompanist who would like to donate their time.

    You will play five, pre-selected hymns, as well as some background music. Most of our hymns are traditional favorites as shown at the YouTube link here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeXBVY4R5ycHA5dhyLAt-Aw/playlists

    We can find a location and time that works for you. You can sign up for a weekly service or if you are not able to play regularly, then we always need backups when our regulars are on vacation. Music groups and ensembles are also welcome to join SpiritCare to play regularly or for special events.

    Many of the seniors in care homes can't get to church. These in-person worship services by SpiritCare (https://www.spiritcareministry.org/) give them hope and encouragement. Please reach out to learn out about how you can contribute. Thank you!
