A Spiritual Walk to “the Destructor”

Spring is almost here, and Stephen Drakeford and Brad Lennon invite you to join us for our next spiritual walk on Saturday, April 12 at 10 AM.
We will depart from the Christ Church Deer Park office entrance door and then take the subway together to High Park Station. Our 7 km jaunt will take us through the north end of High Park and up Keele Street past historic St Martin-in-the-Fields Anglican Church. We will continue up the West Toronto Railway to the Old Stockyards area. Our destination will be the Junction Craft Brewing site in a former City of Toronto 1930’s art-deco incinerator known as “The Destructor.” The building is a beautifully restored, award-winning heritage building. We can return back to Deer Park via the St. Clair West streetcar. Please join us!
 

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.
