The day we are born, we begin a journey filled with the unexpected. Life takes us into relationship with all sorts of people that we never knew were coming our way. One of those persons in my life is Dorothy Scott. She has been a gift in the journey of my life, not once, but twice. Growing up in the Meridian Street congregation, Dorothy was at the organ and her husband, Farrell Scott was the Director of Music. He allowed me to sing in the choir when I was in high school and I walked to church many a Sunday to sing in the adult choir and sat like a sponge in the choir loft hoping to learn all that I could from them. Later, Dorothy played for our wedding service in 1975 and again when our daughter was baptized in 1984. Many years later, Dorothy was here when I returned to Indianapolis after being away for 30 years and since 2006 it has been wonderful to share in ministry with her.

Dorothy’s accolades and achievements are many. She served this congregation even before it was at this address. She has played countless services of worship as well as weddings and funerals. She has filled the sacred spaces of the Sanctuary and the Chapel with melody and harmony as her fingers fly over the keys and her feet along the organ pedals. She has brought tears to our eyes and joy to our hearts playing beautiful music as an offering to God. Dorothy is well known in the music community of Indianapolis and has played organs all over Europe. She strives for excellence in all that she does and she has shared that sense of excellence and dedication with this community of faith for well over sixty years.

As we prepare for Dorothy’s retirement from Meridian Street, I invite you to worship on February 14, 2010. We will have one service at 10:30 a.m. in the sanctuary. Following worship, we will hold a reception in Dorothy’s honor in the parlor. It is my hope that you will make every effort to join in showing our appreciation for her long and meaningful ministry.

I am not sure what Dorothy expected at the beginning of her journey, but I know that we at Meridian Street have received her best each and every week and that it would be impossible to count the number of people who have been blessed by her ministry.

I look forward to joining with you as we express our appreciation to Dorothy on February 14!
