Rev. Breen Sipes is usually an ELCA Lutheran pastor, and currently at home with her elementary school aged children to supervise their education during the pandemic.  She was first drawn to MMC with the hope of teaching small churches how to confidently sing again, and found her tribe of music-makers, composers, and playful creatives.  She loves working with multi-generational groups in song-making, and has been sustained through the pandemic by Monday Morning Grounding and Virtual Practice Groups. She lives in North Platte, Nebraska with her husband, three daughters, two ancient felines, and one Nebraska farm dog.
