The Messengers
The Clarion First United Methodist Church is home to the praise team The Messengers.
n 2011, Rev. Dr. Deryl Larson and Zachary Covington created the group to lead the music at the newly formed contemporary service at the church. This informal service has grown over the years, and The Messengers have continued to grow in musical spirit as well. The mission of the group is certainly not musical excellence. Rather, The Messengers strive to share the word of God through music, and invites the congregation to join them each week.
Zachary Covington (piano, vocals) is the director of the group, with Sue Ann Boyles (keyboard, vocals) serving as assistant. Other band members are Bart Matson (drums), Sarah Matson (lead vocals), Erin Lewis (vocals), Janie Reynolds (vocals), Jodi Acey (vocals), Chelsea Sierko (vocals), Jimmy Smathers (drums), and Chris Curry (guitar, drums). The Messengers invite you to join us in worship each Sunday at 9:45 at the Clarion First UMC.
