One of the unforgettable wonders of the summer was the visit, in early August, of the Heritage Singers. They came to Christ Church from Yorkshire, England, on a Saturday evening and stayed overnight with members of our congregation before going on to St. Thomas’ Church in Manhattan.

Throughout the year their mission is to restore and to maintain the Anglican Choral Tradition by providing sung services, usually to churches without choirs. Those who were lucky enough to hear them will long remember their glorious performance. How fortunate we are not to have to rely on a group like the Heritage Singers for we enjoy a steady diet of great singing by our own faithful choir.

In organizing this treat Tom Sarff gave us a service beyond the call of duty: for planning the event, for supplying the food for the lovely reception (with the help of Beth McLean and Nancy Reiersen), and for persuading so many families to provide overnight hospitality.
