Don Newberry, Music Director
I have been a member at LUMC (Now Loxley Church of Grace) since June of 1991, after a few years working in New Orleans. I have been a Methodist all my life. My earliest memories of church were at Broad Street Methodist in Mobile, which has since closed, and Monroeville UMC. Stapleton UMC is where I grew up. This is when I began to realize that God was for us, and, thanks to Jesus, could be talked to as a friend. My first experience with choir was in MYF (the youth group) at Stapleton, and I have been in choir almost continually since. I first became LUMC’s choir director in 1997, at the prompting of Ms. Irene Gulledge, whom we miss very much. I am Married to Barbara Jo (My music mentor and more!) and I have one daughter, Emmy. Some of my other interests are electronics, computers, amateur radio, other geeky stuff and I am attempting to learn the guitar. I am so thankful for my family, friends, and for the people in our church, for the Spirit that they convey.
Beth Henson, Pianist
I joined Loxley UMC in 2000. I moved my membership from a Baptist church in the area. I started playing the piano shortly after I joined the church. I am the church pianist, choir member, UMW secretary, administrative, children’s choir director and Sunday school teacher. I retired from the Baldwin County School System in 2009 after 30 years of service. I received BS and MA degrees from the University of Mobile. I currently am the After School Site Manager at Silverhill School. I was married to Jim Henson for seven years. I have two sons (Chris and Caleb) and three stepchildren (Jeff, Chad, and Suzanne). I also have five grandchildren (Owen, Cooper, Alex, Elliot and Isaac). I was blessed to welcome a grandaughter, Evie in 2018.
