MUSIC


 

The Létourneau pipe organ, installed in 1995,

supports congregational singing at Bush Hill

with over 1,200 pipes located in a beautiful oak case

in the rear of the sanctuary. 

 

A four-octave set of Schulmerich handbells

adds brilliance to Sunday worship

and special services.

The singing choirs, bell choirs, instrumentalists, and soloists lead worshipers through expressive service music, inspired anthems, and vibrant hymn singing.
