Daniel Cather has accepted the invitation to serve as our Classic Worship Service leader beginning this Sunday, October 5. Dan has lead this service several times in the summer and for the entire month of September. Dan possesses great talent in piano playing, leading both traditional hymns and contemporary songs blending the two smoothly, works well with the orchestra and with the choir,* and has a humble spirit that seeks to worship and lead others to worship. His multiple talents and his character combine to make him the right fit for our Classic Service (9:30 AM).
Daniel is blessed to be part of the Classic Service worship ministry and
to work with so many kind and talented musicians at CBC. Daniel moved
to McAllen when he joined the South Texas College Music Faculty in
2008. He received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Eastern
Illinois University, where he studied piano and composition. As a
student, Daniel graduated with departmental and university honors and
4.0 GPA. From 2003-2008 he served as accompanist, choir director, and
Praise Team co-director of the Mattoon First United Methodist Church
(Illinois). He was also blessed to be part of the EIU Christian Campus
House and go on mission trips to Mexico City and Haiti.
During his tenure at STC, Daniel started the first Electronic Music classes south of San Antonio and also launched the STC Jazz Ensemble. He also teaches Music Theory, Class Piano, Applied Piano, Composition, and Sight singing & Ear Training courses, and serves as accompanist for the STC Choir. He finds great joy in encouraging his students to improve their lives and the lives of those around them by attaining their education goals and sharing what they learn with others. Daniel married his lovely wife, Amy in 2011 and they are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their little girl, Ella Elizabeth Cather in late October. They joined Calvary in 2011 and are grateful for all the beautiful friendships, fellowship, and opportunities to grow in Christ that it has provided. Every good thing that has happened in his life has been by God’s grace and strength and not of his own accomplishment.
Calvary is thankful to have Daniel on board. Please pray for him, his family and his ministry with us. Take time to let him know how much you appreciate him.
