CCOR On TV

Our Church Choir in the Raymond Arts Variety Show!

On Saturday 15 October the CCOR Choir participated in the Raymond Arts Variety show at the Raymond High School.  All of the acts were very good.  The choir appeared between a sort of "Who's on First" styled comedy routine and a couple of young baton twirling acrobats.  The choir received rousing applause after our 2 musical numbers and equally rousing applause during the interview after the performance when the Annual Chicken BBQ was mentioned.  It was fun for all involved.  The show can be seen on Raymond Public Access TV if you missed it in person.

Christmas Carolling a Big Success!

We went on our annual Christmas Carolling with the Youth Group and members of the congregation on the 5th of December, and it was a big success! We visited eight households of house-bound friends, bringing lovely music and good cheer to all. We also rang the lovely brass bells, which added to the lovely music. After we returned, we had our traditional birthday cake for Jesus. What a great way to share the good cheer and say "Merry Christmas"!

Thank You for a Wonderful Concert!

Many thanks to Darcy and Andrew MacLaren for their beautiful music in the concert last Friday night, and to the children of the church and the church choir for joining them in song. The concert raised over $650 towards the repair of the organ! Thanks to Barbara and Ginny for their lovely remarks. Many thanks also to all the people who baked goodies for the reception that followed the concert. They were delicious and enjoyed by all! And finally, thanks to everyone who prepared and cleaned up. We appreciate all that you do for our church.
