Music has been a part of Christian worship since the earliest days of the Church. At St. Martin's we believe it is still an essential element of our liturgy at our weekly 9:00 and 10:30 am services, and also on special occasions. At the present time we have a group of 18 dedicated choristers. Do you like to sing? We need a few more people in all sections. We rehearse on Thursday evenings at 7:30 and sing for the 10:30 service on Sundays. We have lots of fun, and we encourage anyone who loves to sing, to join us. Previous musical experience is not essential.

St. Martin's, Bay Ridges, a small friendly parish, exists "to worship God, to minister to the needs of the
community and help all people grow in faith and fellowship as a family of believers". All baptised Christians
are invited to receive both the bread and the wine at Holy Communion, or you may come forward for a
blessing, indicated by crossing your arms. If you are visiting with us, or here for the first time,
please sign our guest book. We hope that you will feel at home at St. Martin's as we worship. Go in peace
with God's Blessing and come again to God's house.
