On our final day in Winnipeg we started off the day by leading the Sunday service at Home Street Mennonite Church. For many of us, this was the nicest Mennonite church we had ever been in by virtue of it being an old United church. The acoustics were great and so was the food at the potluck afterwards. There was everything from various chillies, salads, lasagna, and meat pie to a stellar dessert table with numerous cakes, cookies, and squares. After lunch we loaded up the bus and were off to Brandon. It had been snowing all morning in Winnipeg but when we got to Brandon the sun was shining and it was another beautiful evening. After a supper of taco salad and delectable ice cream sundaes at Richmond Park Mennonite, we put on our evening concert. Richmond Park is the home church of Angie Nickel, who while not in Chorale, accompanied us to Regina and then met up with us here in Brandon. It became apparent after our program that she and her mom had put a lot of thought into the billeting process and it’s safe to say we were all pleased with both our billets, and our billets homes…
