Mid-Day Music at Melville

Presented and performed by pianist
BRAD HALLS
The music series “Mid-Day Music at Melville” will continue at Melville United Church in Fergus on the first three Wednesdays of December. Pianist Brad Halls is taking the audience on a musical tour through the past 100 years of the history of the Broadway musical, with a presentation of the many enduring classic songs from some of the greatest of the past century’s songwriters. Each performance begins at 12 noon and continues to about 1 p.m.
On December 6, the songs come from the Broadway seasons of 1946 and 1947, and will feature songs from memorable productions such as Annie Get Your Gun, Brigadoon, Finian’s Rainbow and many more. Come and enjoy many classic songs such as Almost Like Being in Love, Come Rain or Come Shine, Old Devil Moon, They Say It’s Wonderful and many more.
On December 13 and December 20, we will shift our focus and enjoy two performances of wonderful Christmas music, as Brad will present seasonal songs and carols – both the very familiar and perhaps some new as well. Come prepared to sing along with some of your own favourites.
“Mid-Day Music” will then take a two-week break over the weeks of December 27 and January 3 for the Christmas and New Year’s celebrations, and the series will resume on Wednesday, January 10, 2024 with a celebration of music from Broadway shows that debuted in the seasons of 1948and 1949.
There is no admission charge for these presentations, but a voluntary contribution to Melville United to help keep the heat and lights on, and the piano tuned, is always gratefully received.

The music series “Mid-Day Music at Melville” presented by pianist Brad Halls returns on Wednesday, November 15th from 12 noon to about 1:00 p.m. at Melville United Church in Fergus. Brad continues his musical journey through the past 100 years of the Broadway musical, and next Wednesday’s concert will feature classic songs from the Broadway seasons of 1937 and 1938. On the Broadway stage it was perhaps the peak of the collaboration between Rodgers and Hart, who produced four musicals over this period featuring songs such as My Funny Valentine, The Lady is a Tramp, Falling in Love with Love and more. This event will also feature songs by Cole Porter, Sammy Fain and Kurt Weill among others including I’ll Be Seeing You and September Song. There is no admission cost for these concerts, but a voluntary donation to Melville United Church to help keep the heat on and the piano tuned is always appreciated.

Advent Study
2021-11-29 19:00 - 2021-12-20 20:00 (America/Toronto)
Advent is sometimes just the thing that stands between us and Christmas, or an opportunity to get at all those Christmas preparations—getting the Christmas cards sent, baking, picking out a tree, wrapping presents… What about preparing our hearts? That is just as important an activity for the weeks leading up to December 24th. With that in mind, we will be holding an Advent study on Monday nights during Advent: November 29th, December 6th, 13th and 20th from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. We will be meeting by Zoom and using the study materials in the Advent Unwrapped resource from the United Church of Canada. You can find the materials at https://united-church.ca/worship-theme/advent-unwrapped at the bottom under “Worship Blogs.” Please let Rev. Lynda or a member of the Faith Formation Committee know if you are interested.
