About Me |
|
Community is Ste-Genny's Singing Ministry group. We are a group of people, young and old, who love music and love singing. We employ a wide variety of instruments, guitars, drums, flute, musical keyboard and various hand held instruments. We perform songs with the congregation each Baptism Sunday and participate in "circle time" with the Sunday School to teach them a new theme song. We also take part in special services such as the Christmas pageant and Christmas Eve service. At least once a year we organize a coffeehouse, with proceeds divided equally among a chosen local charitable organization, a church-related project, and Community itself. Groups that have received funding include West Island Palliative Care hospital, Old Brewery Mission, VON, West Island Citizen Advocacy, AVATIL Center for Development, and VOBOC Foundation. Our music ministry also takes us into the wider community for outreach. In the past we have played at the Ecumenical Picnic, Norma McCallister Senior Home, Side Door Café, Château Dollard, Roxboro United Church and Lakeside Heights Baptist Church. On March 31, 2005 Community sang at Herbert Purcell's Grade 3-6 Moral Religious Education class. On May 18, 2006 Community sang again at Herbert Purcell's. This time about 400 kids from kindergarten all the way to grade 6 and staff were in attendance. It was fabulous. All had a blast, kids, teachers and players. The kids got up and were clapping, singing, smiling, etc. In July, 2006, some of Community's members visited the Maritimes and spent a couple of days in the Gaspe. On July 23, they played at St. Andrew's United Church in New Richmond, Quebec. Community would like to thank the groups who gave of their time and talent at our April 21st Coffeehouse fundraiser to benefit the Big Brothers/Big Sisters. We also thank all of you who bought tickets and came to support this worthy cause. From the bottom of our hearts "THANK YOU!" On May 26, we had the honour of accompanying Bruce and Cheryl Harding at the Montreal-Ottawa conference for the United Church, held at John Abbott. After the service we were thrilled to perform a few of our songs. It was an awesome day! Community is on summer break until September. |
