Jerry often comes to add music to Cricket’s message, but more recently, this couple has felt the Lord calling them to a more combined ministry. They are available for retreats and/or music engagements.

“Cricket led our faculty retreat 2 years in a row. She was back by popular demand! She personalized our retreats with our school theme in mind. The spirit flows through her as she gives an active and engaging retreat. Jerry’s beautiful music completes the package!”
