Darla Yaun- Central Region

                        Darla Yaun- Central Region-
                       offering treats to grandchildren

                   This is a video that Darla's son, Paul Koch, 

             took at Trinity Lutheran Church in Mt. Rainier, MD.

       Darla was first a member there in 1976. The video shows a
                          portion of the pre-service music,
                         “Come, Share This Feast of Love”.
              The accompanist is George “Skip” Hall, who was there
                    back in 1976 and is still the church musician. 
          For the last few summers Darla has gone back to Trinity to
              play for a service.  It’s been a blessing to participate 
                   in a service there, and bless those who attend.

P.S.  Husband, Warren,

 deserves tons of thanks for being willing

 to transport the marimba!

A short interview with Darla Yaun-

1.  What brings you JOY right now in your life? 

A good husband who is growing in faith like me.  And any time to play for worship!

2., Where do you see the Holy spirit working right now in your life?  

His encouragement to speak out.  I am becoming comfortable telling a person of any faith who is in trouble, “I will pray for you.” and then actually doing it.  Sometimes right then and sometimes later alone.   I feel that I need to work on also offering to pray a prayer of thanks and praise for someone who is celebrating.

3, What words of encouragement do you have for fellow faith travelers right now? 

 Jesus words,  “Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” (Matt. 20:28 KJV)

Darla began playing the marimba as a 13 or 14-year-old.  

She played it off and on since then, and just in the last few years has concentrated on it more.  About a year ago she joined a mixed instrumental group at a senior center near her.  They rehearse light music once a week.  That has kept her practicing and she just keeps on learning. 

Sing to the Lord a new song!

We give thanks to the Lord for the gifts
 that Darla shares so generously. 

She is a member at 
Prince of Peace Lutheran Church
 in Springfield, VA.
