We are so thankful for the choir's ministry this season!

We want to give a BIG Thank You to the Adult Choir for another wonderful choir season! Tomorrow is the last Sunday before their well-earned summer vacation. The choir is one of many blessings we have a Christ Church, regularly leading us to a more profound worship. It is a commitment, but such a rewarding ministry.

If you have an interest in joining us next season, the choir (and pick-up choir this summer) is open to everyone. Please get in touch with Mario if you are interested, he’d be happy to chat!

A Collect for Church Musicians and Artists
O God, whom saints and angels delight to worship in
heaven: Be ever present with your servants who seek through
art and music to perfect the praises offered by your people on
earth; and grant to them even now glimpses of your beauty,
and make them worthy at length to behold it unveiled for
evermore; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
