Transformed Sacred Dance TURNING POINT IS AN EXPERIENCE I’LL NEVER FORGET By Kristina Gehman ’06 Asking me to sum up my experience in Turning Point is like asking a football fan to say what Joe Namath did for the game; there are too many positives to list. Initially, I was a little hesitant about joining the group. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to join something with such a large time commitment (a girl’s got to have a social life!), and I didn’t know if all 14 of us would get along. However, the opportunity to study with Dr. Ron Matthews is an exciting one and quite frankly, he is one of the main reasons I joined and stayed in Turning Point for a second year. Ron is an incredible musician, teacher and man of God. I wanted to be able to learn as much as I could from him, not only about music but also about being a Christian in today’s world. Ron demands excellence from the singers in Turning Point. In turn, I demand more of myself during my practice times, lessons and performances. Since joining Turning Point, my understanding of music, my vocal quality and my ability to express myself through music have grown by leaps and bounds. As far as everyone getting along, I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Aside from inevitable differences here and there, everyone got along very well. Some of my best friends have come from Turning Point, and I know they are friends that I will cherish and have for the rest of my life. Turning Point is an outreach ministry, but I feel that I am being ministered to the most. I am blessed by the relationships I have with people in the group and by the Above: Eastern University Touring Choir in Europe.

I can’t believe that God has allowed me the opportunity to be a part of such a fun, talented group. Many of my favorite memories from the past four years come from my time in Turning Point. It’s an experience I will never forget. EASTERN.EDU FALL 2005 THE NEWS MAGAZINE OF EASTERN UNIVERSITY 11
