Ministry of Music
It has been said that music is the bicycle of the liturgy. The music program at the Valois United Church is based on the Valois United Church Choir leading the praise of the congregation with support from the organ. Our Sunday service includes congregational hymns, choral responses, anthems, as well as the prelude and postlude. The service is often enhanced by the Valois United Church Children's Choir, as well as oboists Catherine Calderone and Rémi Collard, pianist Irene Lathe, tenor John Ronnie, guitarist/clarinetist Kevin Bourne, and violinist Éline Collard.
