Music at Queens is back in 2010!
From 1999-2007 this popular concert series made creative use of the church's magnificent building and acoustics, providing another affordable venue for rising stars, as well as established musical groups. The wheel chair accessible sanctuary seats 600 persons and boasts a grand piano and 45 rank Casavant Freres Pipe Organ.
Our concert line up for 2010 currently includes:
Concert Harpist Deborah Nyack from Alberta, on Friday April 9, 2010
Boris Konovalov, Canadian Russian Pianist, on Sunday April 25, 2010
The Mayflower Choir, 100 voices from the Netherlands, on Tuesday, May 11, 2010
The Erato Ensemble, Art Song ensemble, on Saturday May 22, 2010
All concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available from the church office or at the door. Adults $20 Seniors/Students $15 and Children $10. For more information call our office at 604-522-1606, check our website, or Music at Queens on Facebook.

You are welcome to our Church, and we hope you will get to know us. If interested, there are opportunities to know us by volunteering your ideas or helping with the November Fall Fair, with elements of our Sunday service, or by attending a social activity or event.

The men's group is composed of dedicated men in the Property Committee, who perform a great variety of repair jobs and projects, saving the church many thousands of dollars. We also have members who help with the Community Lunch program, the Music at Queens Concert Series, the Fall Fair, garage sales, operate the sound system in church, and assist at many church functions.
UCW units meet regularly for worship and fellowship, and to undertake a variety of tasks for the church. United Church women's activities include an annual luncheon, various teas and refreshments for meetings, coffee hour, participation in the Wednesday Community Lunch program, the annual Fall Fair and in many other social and fund-raising events at Queens.
