Maritime Choir & Church Pianist Clinic Presented by Fundamental Baptist Church, 1170 Sand Cove Road, Saint John, NB E2M 0G3

Immediately after the morning service there will be a potluck meal and then at 3:00pm there will be a special afternoon service of choral music from the choir clinic, vocal music by Brian and Laura, and by Brian at the Piano.
I would like to extend a personal invitation to you to join us for a Choir and Piano Clinic to refine our musical skills. We trust that this day will be a blessing to you and enhance the corporate worship of your local church as you offer up a sacrifice of praise (Heb. 13:15).
Sincerely,
John Banks, Pastor for Worship and Outreach/Discipleship
