Music

We are embarking on a time of transition in our music ministry under the leadership of the Songs of Faith ministry group. As well as continuing CFRUC’s strength in traditional sacred music, this group will help us explore new music from a variety of sources. Working with barb janes (worship resource) and our new Interim Music Director, Annabelle Paetsch, the Songs of Faith group will be in conversation with the congregation through the coming year. We are grateful to congregation members Emily Harasen and Herb Neufeld for providing music leadership during July and August. A congregational luncheon on September 11th will start the conversation with the Songs of Faith ministry group.

Organ

A close-up look at the organ console with its three banks of keys and pulls, framed by curving varnished wood

Our church houses a Casavant Organ External link, built in 1911 by the world renowned Casavant Frères External link. It has 33 stops, and 61 notes across three manuals, plus 32 foot pedal notes. With pipes of up to 16' long, the depth of sound is seemingly bottomless.
