Share your ministry of music from home—let’s sing together this Christmas!

By Leandro Palacios, Director of Communications
​
Imagine yourself in a quiet room, watching a video of a Christmas song with the words on screen. Through your earpiece, you hear the lead singer, and you simply sing along. Then imagine your voice blended together with the voices of others from across Canada, the USA, and beyond, singing together as if you all were in the same room, beautiful harmonies emerging as the voices of altos, tenors, and basses interlace with the main tune carried by the sopranos.

And imagine people around the world, literally around the world, coming together for worship, or perhaps in moments of personal reflection or spiritual need, clicking “play” and being able to listen to the gift you offered the day you simply sang to your phone in a quiet room at home, a ministry that keeps on giving week after week, and year after year. That is the ministry of the Beyond the Walls Choir.

Do you love to sing? Do you know someone who does? Are you ready to add your voice to this ministry? We invite you to give it a try.

This Christmas season, our choir invites you to participate in this ministry, singing CCS 437 – “Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming” and CCS 422 – “In the Bleak Midwinter”, which we will premiere on Christmas Eve.

• You DO NOT need to know how to read music
• You DO NOT need special recording equipment
• You DO NOT need to be a Maria Callas or a Luciano Pavarotti
• All you need is:
• Two devices, for example, a phone and a laptop, or two phones
• A quiet room at home or at work (maybe even your car, but not when you’re driving!)
• Time to practice a few times before you record

Please find the step-by-step instructions to get you started by clicking on the buttons below. Our team is happy to help you with any questions about the music and to figure out any technical obstacles.

We are looking forward to singing together with you!
