The music at Our Saviour is directed by interim organist Jane Rainey.  Worship at Our Saviour generally follows a pattern throughout the month.  The 8:30 a.m. service is spoken throughout. The 11:00 a.m. service every Sunday has musical accompaniment including hymns and musical settings for parts of the liturgy.   We offer a variety of musical settings including the organ with choir or instrumental music including guitars, trumpet, flute, banjo.  Musical offerings are welcomed at the Church of Our Saviour.  Please contact Jane Rainey for information or to offer your talents!

Meet Long time Member, Jane Rainey

To say that Jane Rainey is multi-talented is a serious understatement.  We know her at the Church of Our Saviour as our very gifted organist who also directs the choir. She began playing organ at the former Christ Church in 1968 and transitioned without missing a Sunday to become organist at Church of Our Saviour. 

 Jane always brings fantastic gourmet desserts to our fellowship lunches and writes witty musical parodies for special occasions in the congregation. But there is much more about this talented lady. 

We will bring her out from behind the organ on October 19 when she leads an Adult Forum session for us on “Politics and Religion.” Jane, who is a professor of political science at Eastern Kentucky University, follows court cases and other political events and leads lively discussions on the implications of church versus state.  You will not want to miss this Adult Forum session. 

Jane is a long-time faculty member in the department of political science at EKU.  She arrived at EKU in 1967 to teach courses on the Soviet Union and world communism. As world political boundaries changed, Jane has become a specialist in Canadian politics.  She and her husband Glenn, also a professor of political science, enjoy traveling to Canada in the summer where they study the Canadian system. 

Just when you think you know everything about Jane, you learn that she and Glenn are avid cloggers and clog every week with a group in Wilmore.  They go to dances throughout Kentucky and perform with their group in nursing homes and events such as  the High Bridge Homecoming near Wilmore.  

Jane and Glenn enjoy classical music and are long-time subscribers to the Cincinnati Symphony. The two also travel to the beach in North Carolina every summer. Jane and Glenn both grew up in Atlanta, even attended the same high school, but did not know each other until Glenn was hired at EKU.  They were married in 1978. 

Jane received most of her musical training in Atlanta where she was a student of both piano and organ.  In fact, she credits a piano teacher during her high school years for acquainting her with the Episcopal Church. Jane’s musical talent was recognized by Atlanta’s esteemed Westminster School, which awarded her a scholarship for her last two years of high school. 

Jane completed her B.S. degree in political science from Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland.  She attended Emory University to pursue both her graduate degrees in political science.  Her concentration for the M.A. was state government. For the Ph.D. she studied Soviet politics.  

When asked her wishes for the Church of Our Saviour, Jane responded, “I would like to have more male and female choir members and a children’s choir.” She quickly added, “I would also like a pipe organ.” Let us hope that Jane’s wishes come true.
