We’ll share in the service together, followed by an opportunity to wish one another the Peace of Christ and share in conversation.  Gather 9:45-10 am to take part in the half hour children’s program before the service.

We look forward to worshiping together, from a distance.

The Scoop Behind That Virtual Choir Video :

It all started with a Zoom call (where else?).

I was brainstorming with members of the Leaside Chancel Choir about how – in a time of lockdown and social distancing – they could still contribute to Sunday worship.

The church suspended live Sunday worship on March 13, and have been sharing half-hour video of the service with the congregation. Everyone involved in the church services recorded or contributed “live” from home.

Virtual Choir – For the Beauty of the Earth

So beautiful! We thank the choir for this wonderful piece of virtual choral joy!
