Pastor: Searching for the one God will call

Karla Remmers, Organist / Accompanist

Karla became our keyboard instrumentalist in 2012, bringing with her a wide assortment of musical gifts and an extensive background in music ministry that has involved serving churches throughout our area. While studying at Dana College, where she received degrees in music and finance, Karla traveled all over the Midwest and Canada, singing in churches, schools, and church camps with an outreach group. Following college, she became children’s choir director at Messiah Lutheran in Ralston. She has been the organist for churches in Springfield, Omaha, Papillion, and Plattsmouth. Along with her current responsibilities at Murray Presbyterian, she also directs the adult choir at Trinity Lutheran Church in Papillion and has a career in banking.

At Murray Presbyterian, Karla provides instrumental accompaniment for our worship services, using both organ and piano. Her versatility with both traditional as well as contemporary music significantly enhances our worship experience. Karla and her husband Todd live in Murray with their three children.

Cindy Loftin, Custodian

Cindy’s conscientious, dedicated service is reflected in the cleanliness and beautiful appearance of our facilities. A member of Murray Presbyterian for the past 20 years, Cindy took on the responsibility of caring for the building in the fall of 2015. Prior to that, she enjoyed a 36-year career in the cooking and food service industry, a background that is still on display when she hosts scrumptious fellowship hours. A native of Council Bluffs, Iowa, Cindy and her late husband, Don, moved to Beaver Lake in 1998. She is the mother of two adult children.
