Welcome to Evensong Worship Resources

Welcome to the website for Cheryl and Bruce Harding, musicians and worship leaders working with churches of various denominations across Canada and beyond, in particular with The United Church of Canada.

Primary to our work—and what makes us different from the evangelical mainstream of Christian contemporary music—is a liberal theology of healing and understanding, a wide variety of imagery for God, and a strong adherence to the principles of inclusive language. In other words, we provide a real alternative for those who wish to sing a new song to God without having to be "washed in the blood!"

We're gearing up for a big concert this weekend as a part of Epiphany Explorations in Victoria, BC, Canada. A seven-piece band plus choir and organ, sharing in a participatory evening of roots music and songs of the Spirit from around the world. More than anything, it's an opportunity to make music with some of my favourite people: Rob Copeman-Haynes (double bass), Kocassalé Dioubaté (djembe and percussion), Linnea Good (piano), Leonard Eagle Cloud Howell (vocals, guitar, native flutes), David Jonsson (drums) and Amarjeet Singh Vabhana (tabla), plus Fran Pollet and the First-Metropolitan United Church Choir. If you're in the Victoria area, please join us on Saturday, January 23! It should be an amazing evening of singing, rhythm and Spirit. Details on our events page.

Merry Christmas, everyone! For those of us in the northern hemisphere, the celebration of the coming of the light during one of the longest nights of the year takes on a particularly poignant meaning. Regardless of your faith background, spiritual path, or even your geographical location, Cheryl and I wish you the blessings of the season, and we offer a prayer of hope for our wounded world. May generosity overcome vacuity and consumer culture, may our thirst for justice truly be a quest for fairness and equality, and may we humbly come to appreciate our place on this fragile planet we call home. We wish you hope, peace, joy and love, at this time and for the year to come.

Hi Everyone. After our long summer tour (16,235km from coast to coast and back!), it feels good to be at home, and settling into our new routines, with Bruce serving as Epiphany Musician in Residence 2009-2010 at the Vancouver School of Theology, and as musician at the newly amalgamated Crossroads United Church in North Delta, BC. We also continue to serve as music leaders for the Pacific InterChristian Community in Vancouver. All of which means there are lots of opportunities to join us for singing and worship if you are in the Vancouver area. We practise an open-door policy with our choirs at VST and Crossroads, which means if you are in the area for a few days, feel free to drop in and sing with us! And for those who are further away, we have continuing occasional events across the country through the fall and winter months, and as always all our events are posted on our events page. Hope to see you and sing with you soon!
