So I guess I didn't specify this is actually an Anglican church...!! and I
attend that church but I go on a day when they do not have music... It may
be a bit stressful and I was surprised with the way they were doing the
music... They use Gather (a Catholic resource) I have one of those and
Voices United (I no longer own one of those I sold it to someone on
Anglican Music many moons ago after I got fired from a United Church...) I
know both resources... The trouble is we closed 5 Anglican parishes this
round of closures (2016) and in 2004 or 5 we closed another 4 or 5 so there
are very few Anglican churches now and jobs are few and far between...
