If you use the website to print your music, finding it just got a little easier. At the top (and bottom) of the various Music Collections is a Search files box. Type in a few letters from your song name and the matching songs will show up instantly. Pretty cool!
it’s hard to believe it’s fall already. We’ve had a lovely summer, with warm sunny days, get-togethers with family and friends, or even just watching sunsets late into the evening.

We’ve begun work on our Christmas repertoire. We’ve had many requests for new music and for some challenges, so Nigel, our conductor and myself (Stephanie, your accompanist) have obliged with no less than eight new Christmas songs.

Well, our 2024/2025 season is off to a great start. We have quite a few new members, for which we’re always very thankful, and they bring lots of musical talent to the choir. Our Silver Chord sound is always amazing in the Gathering Place and the great acoustics work wonders…
