The Choir
Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. - Choir Practice in the Sanctuary
During the year
The Choir rehearses every Thursday evening from 7:30 until 9:00 p.m. from immediately after Labour Day to just before the May holiday weekend. The annual program consists of special music for Christmas and a spring concert every April, as well as Introits and Anthems for the Sunday services. The McConkey bequest allows the choir to engage soloists, maintain the pianos and organ and purchase new anthems. At the moment it is looking for new members in all four voices, the only requirement being an ability to sing in tune.
