CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH: Discovering a pandemic silver lining

CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH: Discovering a pandemic silver lining
0Comments

Central Presbyterian Church issued the following announcement on Jan. 31.

While Guatemala has been struggling with the global pandemic, mission co-workers Eric and Betsey Moe have been working remotely from Spokane, Washington.

“It’s feels like we have been standing at the top of a high dive with one foot extended, waiting to jump,” Eric said. However, infection numbers in Guatemala are improving, and the couple hope to move to Guatemala at the beginning of 2022.

As a longtime professional musician, performer and teacher of trumpet, staying in Washington state did give Eric the opportunity to keep practicing with the Spokane Symphony. It also gave the mission co-worker the chance to appear on stage last October with Leslie Odom Jr., the actor, author, musician and vocalist best known for his Tony award-winning performance as Aaron Burr in “Hamilton.”

Eric admits that the pandemic was in a way “a perfect storm” that allowed him the “amazing chance to solo with a great musician,” adding that Odom’s “whole group was just phenomenal.”
