Knox is a beautiful and glorious building both visually and acoustically. The concert at Knox is an annual highlight for the singers. A few of Louella K. Friesen's vocal students from RJC also sang a number of Christmas songs.

On Saturday afternoon, the Chorale travelled back to Saskatoon for a special presentation at Willow Design Studio on 2nd Avenue.

Willow is owned by RJC alumna Sandra Young (she is also the mother to current RJC student and Chorale member Miranda). At the studio, the Chorale sang numerous Christmas carols for the patrons there. At the same time, a silent auction of "Art Stars" came to a close.

The Art Stars were painted by RJC students and auctioned off as part of a fundraiser for the ministry at the school.

A frosty Sunday morning (-31C at depature time) saw the Women's Choir and Chorale joining forces again for the morning worship service at Tiefengrund Rosenort Mennonite Church (just north of Laird, SK). The church graciously fed the choir after the service.
