The Yorkminster Citadel Band (Bandmaster Greg Colley and Deputy Bandmaster Bill Way)
Our band and songsters (choir), as well as various vocal and instrumental soloists, provide music for worship each Sunday. They also participate in regular concerts.
Songsters (Songster Leader Cathie Koehnen, Deputy Songster Leader Alexandria Venables)
In addition to their weekly contribution to worship services the Songsters are an integral part of the ministry of Yorkminster, particularly at Christmas when they bring joy to shoppers and employees on our Christmas kettles.
Worship Team (Coordinator Jonathan Kean)
On a couple of Sundays a month, the worship team creates an upbeat atmosphere through bringing newer arrangements and songs to the congregation as a part of our worship service. It is composed of vocalists, guitars, piano, drums and brass.

This will be a chance for an in-depth study of God’s word as it relates to our relationship with God, our families and the world around us.
Our 2025-2026 study will be centred around the biblical book of Philippians.
OPAL Luncheon Club
Seniors are the jewel of our church and community. They have an exciting luncheon program once a month from September to June.
Food, Fellowship and Information
Third Wednesday of the Month
12:00 pm to 2:00 pm
Phone (416) 222-9110 ext. 1 to register
Of course this ministry may not be for you—you’re not a senior yet! But if you are looking for fellowship with people who share your life experience, we have a ministry for you. Our seniors are a highly valued part of our church family, and continue to be actively involved in church ministry in many ways. At the Luncheon Club, all of those who attend are our jewels, our OPALs! (Optimistic People with Active Lives).
Our OPALs meet the third Wednesday of each month at noon for fellowship and a hot meal. A group of volunteers look after providing the meal and there is a small charge for the meal. The meal is followed by a program and short devotional. Programs have included such things as information from police on safety, greeting card making, carol singing, Salvation Army disaster responsive services, Addiction Services, Toronto History, Monarch Butterflies and much more.
You are invited to join us. We would be happy to add more jewels to our collection at the Luncheon Club.
The cost of lunch is $10.

Grief and Sorrowing Support
Galatians 6:2 entreats us to “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” Sadly, sorrow and grief are a natural part of life. While we hope these experiences will pass, they are actually seasons we need to journey through. As we journey, a supportive community is very important. We have designed a four-part worship and prayer evening that journeys from sorrow to hope. We will schedule these as needed. Please contact the Major Corinne at the church office if this would be helpful to you.
