I met with our new pastor a short time ago. Of course no one ever knows really what to expect in these situations.
He used words such as "Sacred Music" and referred to himself as a "pastor of souls", asked if I was a trained organist, and told me that he prefers traditional, reverent music.
Best wishes for your relationship with the new pastor. I know the feeling of not knowing what to expect - my new pastor arrives July 1st. All we can do is pray, do our best, and leave the rest to God.
