The Fellowship Choir
The Fellowship Choir has been an integral part of Bakerview's Seniors' Ministry since the early 1980's. The choir is made up of about fifty singers in their "senior years" who love to sing for personal enjoyment as well as to minister to others.
Choir practices on Tuesday mornings begin with a short devotional, a time of sharing and prayer. This is followed by more than an hour of intensive practice, preparing musical selections for participation in the worship service on the first Sunday of each month or for ministry at Bevan Lodge and the Cottage Hospital on the third Tuesday of each month. Each year, the choir also prepares two concerts for public presentation; one in the spring, and another at Christmas. These have been well attended by people from the church as well as the community.
Occasionally, the choir has also undertaken a tour of ministry.
