Settings were performed at

motets and some sing-along
carols.

A similar concert was
repeated December 12 at St.
Andrews United Church

viola, also performed.

The Four Psalm Settings
have been very well receiv-
ed. The singers enjoy them
and each part is well fitted to
the voice.

pleasure to conduct. Each
setting is a very sensitive
interpretation of the work.”

The audiences also found
much to delight them in
Hodgin's new work, which is

Drop-in centres
make good neighbors

The years at home with
young children can be a
lonely time in our modern
suburbs. The Drop-In
centres are an informal
meeting place for parents,
where there is supervised
play for tots.

Through the centres
mothers get to know others
in their neighbourhood and

develop supportive and
caring friendships. It is one
way to work towards
creating a caring community
in which individuals and
families can thrive.

A nominal charge is made
for coffee and playroom
supervision. We use
volunteers whenever
