A reminder that the Wesley Hymn Festival is about a week away.
I need to hear from you if your choir will be participating.
If you are willing to be an organist for the festival (playing a few hymns to accompany the singing). If you have an arrangement of a Wesley hymn or a free verse arrangement of a Wesley hymn that would be a bonus.
You can contact me – Dale Burkholder (gangalf@live.com) to indicate your interest

The Royal Canadian College of Organists is excited to present a Festival of Hymns written by the Wesley family. The four member of the family (John, Charles, Samuel, and Sebastian) have written over 6,000 hymns many are still in use today. On March 12 we will be highlighting some of them.
We will have a massed choir singing “A Covenant Prayer” arranged by Allen Pote. Everyone is will welcome to join us at 2:45 to rehearse this beautiful piece. Please contact Dale Burkholder (gangalf@live.com) for copies.
We are looking for organists to either accompany the congregational singing or presenting an arrangement of a Wesley Hymn. Again please contact Dale Burkholder (gangalf@live.com) to indicate your interest.
Please pass this information on to everyone who maybe interested.
We are looking forward to seeing you.
