St. Mary the Virgin, Vegreville hosted another successful Gospel Singalong event on Sunday, February 12. The parish music team Companions on a Journey (Jim Bragg, Lisa Topilko, Janet Rowlands) led the musical event, a fundraiser for the church. The afternoon was further supported by various church members who assisted with providing or serving hot and cold refreshments including home-baked cookies and welcoming people at the door.
Special guest Khrystyna Kohut from Ukraine shared her musical talent, making a truly memorable afternoon. Kohut was a professional piano teacher in Ukraine before the Russian invasion, and she fled the war in her homeland several months ago. And while she speaks almost no English, she broke through the communication barrier with her beautiful accompaniments for parishioner and flutist Lisa Topilko. She then played three lovely solo piano pieces.
The next parish musical event is scheduled for Palm Sunday, April 2, when Companions on a Journey will share the Easter Story in Song — in the style of an Advent lessons and carols service. All are welcome to come out to enjoy the music, fellowship and joy of singing along! Admission is by donation. Respectfully submitted by the Rev. Laureta Blondin, rector
