The Senior Choir of Fairlawn Avenue United Church is an auditioned group of approximately 35 members, including an 8-member professional core. The Senior Choir sing every Sunday from September through June at the 10:30 am worship service, and are responsible for an introit, two anthems and all other service music. In order to cover that amount and level of music, often with a minimum of rehearsal time, choristers must have singing experience and excellent music/sight-reading skills. Practice is weekly on Thursday evenings, September through May.

Talk About Politics On Friday, November 21 at 2:00pm - 3:30pm, in the safety of the Sanctuary, Gord Pitts will host a free-wheeling chat around what troubles you, what excites you, what challenges you. Coffee and tea will be served. This arose from our conversation about what we can do to develop new opportunities for a seniors' space at Fairlawn. See you (and, we hope, hear from you) there.
