Choir

Quispamsis United Church Adult Choir has thirty one enrolled members who meet regularly on Thursday evenings to rehearse for Sunday morning. We have had a busy year with an Easter cantata “Come touch the Robe” by Pepper Choplin which we presented April 18 at morning worship, and again in the afternoon at Kingsway Care Centre. We were very well received on both occasions. We also shared Good Friday at Saint David’s where both choirs combined with a youth ensemble. In September we started the year with a full rehearsal followed by refreshments. “Bring a Kid to Choir”night followed, and preparing for Thanksgiving. For Anniversary Sunday on October 31 we had the pleasure of Ross Mouland’s saxophone accompaniment with our hymns and anthem.  In November we anticipate a full house and a full choir loft as we herald Advent with three additional choirs for our annual gathering with the theme “Through the Eyes of a Child”. Then in December we will present our seasonal cantata. You will see more about that in upcoming weeks.

One of our members presented us with a storage compartment, so that each singer has a “pigeon hole” for music. Our faithful singers are also very pleased to have sturdy new folders to use when needed, and enjoy wearing new gowns that arrived in time for Anniversary celebrations.

Quispamsis Children’s Choir started the year with nine members. They are a lovely group who sing with great enthusiasm. We practice after church on Sundays for about thirty minutes while parents visit downstairs. The children look forward to taking part in worship through the fall, and then preparing for Christmas. We will wear our new gowns as well for our monthly presentations. All young singers are welcome to join us. No auditions are necessary.
Thank you to all who take part in the choir program at this church. Your support and dedication is evident in your faces and voices. We are very fortunate to have so much talent so willingly shared.
