Music is my passion and writing is my outlet. Through both, I desire to be a positive influence in people’s lives. I live this out through my call as a minster serving at NewDay Covenant Church, as a volunteer at the Olmsted County Detention Center in a class for detainees I began called “Your Story / Your Song,” and as a song/writer currently working on “The Worthy People Project” in which I tell the stories of people who find themselves in the muck, mire and margins of life. I have three young children I swore I would never have and am married to a wonderful man who can build something out of absolutely nothing. We savor the simple things as we grow food, drink wine, laugh and roll down the windows to breath deep whenever we pass a freshly cut field of alfalfa. With an aversion to travel, I prefer to stay at home and let my thoughts do the wandering. I’ve called the Rochester area home since 2003. Visit Sarah Monson Music or stay updated by liking “The Worthy People Project” on Facebook.
