Our last (but not least!) National Volunteer Week feature is Dr. Nathan Grigsby, longtime director of Agnes Scott’s Joyful Noise Gospel Choir.

Dr. Grigsbys visit to A.G. Rhodes in 2015 after his mother-in-laws rehab stay recovering from an injury opened the door to a decade of shared joy, music, and ministry. During his visit, he ran into a former music student who was participating in a monthly sing-along. That chance encounter sparked two ideas for how he could bring his love of ministry, music, service, and teaching to A.G. Rhodes.

Dr. Grigsby began bringing the Joyful Noise Gospel Choir, which is comprised of Agnes Scott college students who like to sing gospel music, to perform at A.G. Rhodes twice a year. And, he also started volunteering monthly at A.G. Rhodes playing piano alongside fellow musicians from local churches, offering praise and worship to residents.

Dr. Grigsby says he can see that the choir performances have a profound impact on his students as they witness the impact the concerts have on the elders.

“It’s an honor for them to be able to spread the good news at A.G. Rhodes. To see the residents’ expressions—them raising their hands, clapping, and even crying—it’s a very tangible and meaningful experience.”

And during his monthly visits leading praise and worship with other volunteers, Dr. Grigsby said it further exemplifies the importance of serving others, especially seniors. “I’ve had countless encounters with the residents to tell us how much they appreciate us coming out every month,” he said. “It is a priceless experience. The feeling that you get in serving and ministering to our seniors is like no other.”

Thank you, Dr. Grigsby, for your decade of service (and counting)! And Happy National Volunteer Week to all our wonderful volunteers who do so much for our communities. We appreciate you this week and every week!
