St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
St. Andrew's has a small choir that rehearses weekly and presents anthems twice a month. St. Andrew's is very fortunate to have several instrumentalists and solo singers as well, so there is a good variety of music to enhance worship. The hymn book we use is the Presbyterian Book of Praise and we use traditional as well as contemporary hymns. St. Andrew's has a "small but mighty" Casavant pipe organ and a 9 foot Baldwin concert grand piano. The piano is one of the best in the city making St. Andrew's a prime venue for recitals.
