VENUE: Pilgrim People Brisbane meet at Merthyr Road Uniting Church, New Farm, Brisbane.
Your gift will assist in the purchase of inspiring choral music for The Pilgrim Singers who contribute to weekly worship services with choral introits and anthems. The Pilgrim Singers also lead the hymn singing in worship services.
Your gift will also support the choral scholarship program which brings young Conservatorium singing students into the Pilgrim community, to encourage their practical skills, and at the same time exploring how music can be such a valid form of faith expression.
