Maryanna Lilly - Worship Leader

BASIC INFO

I was born and raised in New York in a small little town bordering Vermont called, Truthville. It was a wonderful place to be a kid with a softball field in my backyard along with horses, pigs, sheep and even a peacock! I was the baby of the family with two amazing older brothers, Allan and Bob and the best parents ever, Martha and Willy Lyng. I left for Lynchburg, Va to attend Liberty University when I was eighteen and when I moved back to NY in 2003, I came with my husband, Roscoe. We have two beautiful daughters, Annabelle, who is 5 years old and Adeline who is 2 years old.) They bring joy to us every single day with their enthusiastic personalities and passion for life! I'm so proud to be their Mom! One of my greatest joys in life is to be a part of NorthStar Church's Worship Team as the Worship Leader!

SCRIPTURES TO LIVE BY

Philippians 4:8,9
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard form me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you."

Isaiah 43:1-3
"Fear not for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they wil not sweep over you. When you walk throught the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy one of Israel."
