Peace, Friends

We are delighted to share with you the Thanksgiving Sunday (October 11) broadcast featuring inspirational music with special guest, vocalist Corey Linforth, and organist Peter Nikiforuk, prayers including requests from across the country, readings, a message, and the celebration of Holy Communion.

Corey Linforth is a Kitchener based soprano who sings a wide range of repertoire, but specializes in oratorio. In the past couple years, she has appeared as a soloist with The Talisker Players, The Annex Singers, Spiritus Ensemble, Guelph Chamber Choir, and many more. Corey also worked as a choral lead, music director, and organist in churches from over ten years, most recently for St. Andrew’s Hespeler Presbyterian.

We offer these worship elements for you to use this day or at your convenience; the timeline is listed below so you can jump to the pieces that are helpful for you. Hymn numbers are for Evangelical Lutheran Worship.

Blessing on your worship!
