Virgil Hager, John Hinton, Cathi Shaw and Pastor Denny

Our Ministry
The mission of the New Presence Quartet is:
To spread the message of God’s love, salvation, and grace through music;
To love and affirm all God’s people;
To continue the work of Jesus - harmoniously, instinctively and collectively.

Our Bible verse—Psalms 98:4
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth. Make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praises.

History
Gospel music goes back to my High School days in Nebraska, where a classmate, Marilyn Stark, introduced me to Southern Gospel Music. Being a Lutheran, it was never exploited. But I was introduced to the Cathedral Quartet in 1982 and after seminary graduation I asked my brother, Virgil, if he would help me form a Gospel quartet. I preached in several different churches and as I moved from one location to another, each time we would lose members. But in 2001 we were blessed with two new members, Cathi Shaw, and John Hinton. They are dedicated to the Lord and His work and have engaged themselves with weekly, hard practice and that blessing is appreciated.

Group Bios
Catherine “Cathi” Shaw
News Flash! Cathi is a grandma!
Austin Gregory was born January 9, 2007, to Todd and Hollie. Austin is fine and family is excited! Congrats to grandparents Cathi & Greg. First time WOW!

Cathi and her husband Greg met when students at Otterbein College in Westerville, Ohio. They now live in Sunbury, Ohio with their younger son, Jared. Their older son and daughter-in-law, Todd and Holli live in the Pittsburgh area. Cathi’s job as a corporate trainer with Worthington Industries in Columbus requires extensive travel, so coming home to “sing with the guys” is a wonderful way to relax and rejuvenate! Cathi sings what is necessary for delivery of a song - lead, alto, tenor and yes even once sang bass. Her song is Land Of The Free.

John Hinton
John is a professor in the Mathematics Department at Otterbein College. His wife Barb and son Andy usually attend practices, providing helpful suggestions. John usually sings alto, but also sings baritone/bass, sometimes tenor...but fills whatever is missing or needed. John enjoys motorcycling, photography, and fishing when there is time remaining. John’s song is When I Get Carried Away

Virgil Hager
Virgil works at Worthington Industries and has his own business in Sunbury, Ohio, Virgil‘s Jerky Plus. His wife Nancy assists by playing the piano and acting as our critic. Virgil is our techy, our sound man and usually sings tenor or lead. Virgil and Denny began singing in quartets ten years ago. Virgil’s song is Sinner Saved By Grace.

Dennis Hager
Pastor Denny is an ordained minister and enjoys singing for the Lord. This past spring in 2006, after being asked several times, went to work with his son Andrew doing remodeling work. Actually an old family name "Denbrook". His wife, Dee, often accompanies the group and has been very helpful in selecting our wardrobe. When not too busy, Dennis enjoys woodworking and helping the needs of his five children. Dennis usually sings bass, but also sings lead! Dennis’s song is Gonna Rise.
