OUR MUSIC MINISTRY
We use God’s gift of music to rejoice, praise, lament and heal. Music allows us to express our emotions and to communicate love through song and instrument in worship.
D.U.M.C. is graced with exceptional musical direction in our organist/pianist, Evangeline Ray. We are also blessed to have several special guest musicians who join us periodically to enhance worship with their talents. We have a dedicated choir and a newly formed chime choir.

OUR PASTOR
Reverend Robyn Hays has been the pastor of the Dryden United Methodist Church since July 2021. Robyn was ordained as a United Methodist deacon in 1994 and an elder in 1998. She holds an undergraduate degree in both mathematics and religion. Before being called to serve in Dryden, Robyn served churches in Horseheads, Pennellville, Trumansburg and the Lake Ontario Parish. In 2023, the Forest Home Chapel in Ithaca was added to her charge. An Ithaca native, Robyn says in her own words, "I am a proud science fiction geek who loves sci-fi books and movies (I went to school with Clem Sagan,) and I have also been called a Bible nerd because I adore cool Bible minutia. I enjoy Bible studies, visiting with people, leading uplifting worship, and I love to laugh. Two of my favorite vices (to be enjoyed in moderation) are dark chocolate and good coffee."
