Mass choir gearing up for IPM service
Undaunted by the heat and humidity in August, almost 120 people have attended practices for the mass choir that will perform at the IPM 2016 worship service on Sept. 18.
Directed by Derek Moore of Drayton, the choir has attracted singers from across Wellington County.
“It’s amazing that a group of people who have never been in the same choir before can come together like they have to make such a joyful noise,” said Moore, who co-chairs the worship service committee with Allan Lee of Harriston.
“Everyone who attends the worship service will be uplifted by the anthems and encouraged to sing with us some familiar old hymns.”
The IPM service will be held on Sept. 18 at 3pm at Norwell District Secondary School in Palmerston. Rev. Kees Vandermey of Glen Allan is the guest speaker.
A shuttle bus will provide transportation from the IPM RV park, leaving at 2pm.
The 2016 International Plowing Match will be hosted on the farm of Anne and Earl Schneider near Harriston from Sept. 20 to 24.
