Altar Guild
The Altar Guild is dedicated to preparing the Church and sanctuary for all services, including baptisms, weddings and funerals. Our members are an excellent group of workers, who enjoy their commitment, work quietly in the background and can be depended on constantly and consistently to make sure the necessary arrangements are made.
Senior Choir
Director: Jeff Enns
Rehearsals: Thursdays, 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM
Holy Saviour’s Senior Choir sings weekly at the 10:00 AM Sunday liturgy, warming up in the Chancel one hour prior to the service. Holy Saviour’s Senior Choir also sings Matins at 9:00 AM on the first Sunday of every month, Choral Evensong at 4:00 PM on the third Sunday of most months, and at special services throughout year.
The choir is open to everyone in the community; no audition is required. Music reading skills are helpful, but not required, and can be gained and improved through regular attendance. The choir’s repertoire spans the gamut from medieval chants to Renaissance motets, anthems by the great English masters, and works of recent composition.
Generations Choir
Director: Lois Horst, B.Mus.
Rehearsals: Sundays, 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM Location: Douna Room
The Generations Choir sings weekly at the 10:00 AM Sunday liturgy, with a practice and warm up in the Music Room one hour prior to the service. As with the Senior Choir, the Generations Choir is open to everyone in the community from ages 5 and up; no audition is required. Musically, the Generations Choirs sings a variety of music, some challenging and some not as much.

Lay Assistants and Lectors

Lay Assistants assist in the Service of Holy Eucharist. They read a lesson at selected worship services and assist clergy in administering the Holy Eucharist.
