A Spiritual Walk

With the arrival of spring, come join our walking group at Christ Church Deer Park as the Rev. Dr. Stephen Drakeford and Brad Lennon lead us on a hike through York Cemetery and Earl Bales Park. We will be on the lookout for spring ephemerals, those first flowering native plants to appear in our forests. We will listen and look for the birds on their migrations northward.

Starting at 10 AM from the church office doors, we will take a twenty-minute subway ride to North York City Centre to begin our walk. We will be taking paved paths and gentle slopes 8 km to our final destination at York Mills Station. Bring water, sunscreen and an umbrella, just in case.

 

To register for this hike or to ask questions, contact Brad at blennon@sympatico.ca. He’s also available at the Sunday 10:30 AM worship service to answer questions.

The Story behind our

Tracker Organ

Our magnificent three manual, tracker-action organ was installed in the chancel of the church in the spring of 1982 and dedicated to the Glory of God and in memory of those who died in the First World War and the Second World War.

The organ, built by the Karl Wilhelm Company of Mont St. Hilaire, Quebec, has a classical continental design. The case is made of white oak and the pipe shades are of carved butternut. Voiced in the classic French style, its 36 stops and 50 ranks are capable of interpreting a wide variety of organ literature.

Installation required considerable changes to the chancel including moving the altar forward and arranging choir seating to either side. These renovations prompted the design and production of our award-winning Benedicite Kneelers, done in needlepoint by a dedicated group of church members.
