Music from Dr. Garry Froese
This week's hymn is When We seek Language to Praise You, O God; Hymn No. 49 in More Voices United.
This hymn is intended firstly for members of the Sanctuary Choir and for anyone else who may have been harbouring secret thoughts of singing with the choir.
Since it looks as if it will be a while before we can sing together in person, please give this video and the accompanying PDF (here) a try. It will help keep your musical ear active!
This is an opportunity to learn the refrain for the Closing Hymn in the Sunday, May 17th recorded service, with an invitation to sing along with this new hymn at the 28-minute, 20-second mark on the video recording.
Do give it a try and let me know if this works for you and/or how we can improve the experience.
--Garry
Do you have a request for a hymn? Just email Garry with the hymn you'd like to see him play in a future video.

Flat Jesus Returns!
This is a project that reminds us that Jesus is with us wherever we are, not just when we come to the church building.
The first thing you need to do is print out a picture of Jesus. You can get the picture by clicking here. Then colour it. If you don’t have a printer, draw your own Jesus (stick figures work).
Then take pictures of Jesus with you in your daily lives…eating a meal, doing chores, going for walks…whatever you are doing.
Send the pictures to the office or post them on Facebook.
Remember, we are all connected by the love of Jesus.
Blessings, Nancy
