Choir

"Sing for joy to God our strength: shout aloud to the God of Jacob! Begin the music, strike the tambourine, play the melodious harp and lyre." Psalms 81:1-2

St. Mathew's Mar Thoma Church Choir is a forty plus auditioned member group that has assisted the church worship service ever since this parish was formed. The mission of the Choir is to serve the Lord our Master by leading songs during the worship and Holy Qurbana. The Choir holds the privilege to provide opportunities for church members who have an inclination to sing as a group in a meaningful way. The members meet regularly on Friday evenings at the church in preparation for Sunday worship. This also allows members to learn sheet music and to have a closer relationship as a Choir family. It is very encouraging and delightful to see the Junior Choir members participating in church activities. The Junior Choir members meet on Sundays after the service. Membership to the Choir is only through church membership. Any church member who has a call to serve the Lord by singing is welcome to join and participate in the Choir activities.

The Choir had the privilege of participating at the Regional Choir Festivals held at Chicago and Detroit in previous years, and is getting ready to attend the Regional Choir Festival in Chicago this year. Apart from this the Choir has been performing for the Christmas Carols in a very diligent way. This year Choir held an Easter Recital on March 29th. The Choir hopes and prays that these programs will provide a holistic feeling of the season irrespective of the commercialization.

Our Vicar Rev. Alex P. John continued his support as the Choir President, and we are very thankful for his efforts. On a final note we thank the entire Choir and the church members for their relentless support and encouragement, and are really grateful for those who went the extra mile making sacrifices for the success of the Choir. We thank Almighty God for His abundant mercy we received all these years, and pray for his mighty guidance in the years to come. The Choir Secretary is Mr. Chandy Skariah, who can be reached at 905-230-3445.
