All are welcome to join us for our Spring Music Sunday.  Choirs will sing, hand bells will ring and the organ will resonate through the space.  Stay for a reception after the service.

Here are notes from the Music Director.

A Note from Heather:

“We sing of the Creator. We sing of grace. We sing of God the Spirit. We sing with trust. Scripture is our song for the journey. We sing of Jesus. We sing Hallelujah! We sing of God’s mission. We sing of a life beyond life…We cannot keep from singing!”

  – from “A Song of Faith”

Here at Sherwood Park United we are blessed to have a singing congregation. It is evident each week when our whole church family comes together in worship, music and song.

This Sunday, the choirs and musicians of Sherwood Park United are looking forward to sharing favourite anthems, hymns, handbell, organ and piano selections as we worship together at our Spring Music Service.

We are grateful to Rev. Marlene Salmonson and Claire Spiess for leading us in this celebrative service, where we will also be acknowledging Mother’s Day and Christian Family Sunday.

So, we invite you to join us at 10:00 am on Sunday morning, sing with gusto and abandon, and stay for coffee and conversation downstairs in the Fellowship Hall after the service.

Blessings,

Heather R.

GeriActors- Facing The Day

May 29 1:30 p.m.

Tickets $10.00

An intergenerational theatre company based in Edmonton. This performance group brings together seniors and students to create original, plays based on true stories and issues of aging. Ranging in age from early twenties to nineties, the GeriActors are seniors from Greater Edmonton, and the Friends are students from Concordia University of Edmonton.

 GeriActors Theatre is an intergenerational theatre company based in Amiskwacîwâskahikan (Edmonton).

Our mission is to develop performer-created theatre and performance-based activities that are of high quality and that foster positive intergenerational interaction and authentic views of aging.

Adhering to the principles of creative aging, we believe that seniors’ engagement in the arts at a level of comparative mastery leads to significant health benefits, an overall sense of well-being, and a marked increase in social and civic engagement. Our programs seek to challenge stereotypes, promote authentic views on aging, and bring people together to share in meaningful discussions about lived experiences.
