PRINCETON — United Methodist Pastor Rich Rubietta of Grayslake will lead a  special musical service of worship at 8 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. March 10 at The First United Methodist Church of Princeton, 316 S. Church St. Rubietta is a songwriter and worship consultant who conducts high-energy, interactive worship experiences which include sing-alongs, original scripture-based songs and stories.

A graduate of Northwestern University with a degree in music and an Illinois Arts Council Arts Tour artist, Rubietta has been using digital technology for several years to bring new sounds and styles to traditional church hymns and songs. “I’m finding that folks in the church of all ages and all denominations are yearning to sing their faith using music that moves them on a deeper emotional and spiritual level,” he said.
