Having some fun in rehearsal this morning with an old gospel favourite. Not every choir has a mandobass player to accompany them! Thanks David Westwick! Thanks for recording, Marlene!

Lots of new things are going on inside and outside of Knox these days. Check out our new café space. And you'll notice that our exterior stonework repairs are beginning too.

There is still time to get to Knox to hear this!

Easter Sunday Service at Knox starts at 10:30 a.m.

Such a beautiful building and great staff

Beautiful. The people were helpful and the concert was amazing.

Attended the Huron Carole last night - fantastic experience! Beautiful venue - the stained glass windows are exquisite and the lighting was dramatic against the backdrop of those windows. Tom Jackson was an inspiration as always....we could do with so many more people in the world like him!

It's been my spiritual home for 2 decades. Some things change, what matters most doesn't change.
