Music is an integral part of Como Lake United
Church. Our music program consists of two active choirs, vocal soloists
and instrumentalists led and coordinated by Lena Kovalik. The music
program provides great joy, comfort and encouragement of out community
of faith. We are always looking for more people to join our team!
Statement of Purpose -
Called and empowered by the Holy Spirit,
we provide leadership in worship
through the gift of music
in order to express, enrich and inspire people
to faith in God.
We accept this call and responsibility with joy and hope,
and we seek with faith
the unity that will enable this ministry to inspire the people of God. Thanks be to God.
Every Sunday the sanctuary choir brings its
musical leadership to the service. It is a welcoming, all-volunteer
choir of more then twenty members. The choir repertoire contains
a wide variety of musical styles. Classical, spiritual, and modern
music are just
some of the styles incorporated into our choral singing. We make
every attempt to appeal to everyone's musical taste, as well as
lead the congregation in song.
Highlights of the choir's program include an annual concert and a special Sunday music service presentation. We enjoy singing everybody's favourites as well as learning new songs. We also work on developing our singing skills by doing regular breathing exercises, working on vocalizing scales and intervals and learning sight-singing.
If you enjoy music and want to discover and develop your potential talent in the artistic field you are more then welcome to join us! We practice every Thursday from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm in the sanctuary.
Faith Singers - Children/Youth Choir - Ages 8 to 12 - Nurturing children and youth into a loving and trusting relationship with God, with themselves and with others, through music, song and self-expression.
Our weekly worship meeting consists of lighting the Christ candle to remind us of in whom's name we are meeting, centering prayer, sharing, Bible discussions and singing praise songs.
