Our Core Activities
gathering together
We are a network of singing ensembles; rehearsing in groups of up to 16 participants, meeting in homes. About once monthly we gather all ensembles together for mass rehearsals.
A typical HtH weekly gathering consists of a family-style meal, music rehearsing, learning and discussing, and praying together. Most often this happens Tuesday evenings from October through May.
If you would like to join our gatherings, please
And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
Acts 2:42
singing together
Music with a message! Our repertoire is specially selected to serve our missional pillars of building community, expanding worldviews, developing leaders, and fighting for justice.
Many of our songs have been composed or arranged specifically for us through our HtH Composers Guild, consisting of HtH leaders, participants and friends! If you have some ideas for songs that would fit for HtH, please let us know!
Want to hear more?
Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Eph 5:19
performing together
HtH often performs
-
In churches; as a special musical complement to the worship service, or facilitating the complete service including leading worship and providing sermon/message
-
At ministry fundraising events; providing thoughtful entertainment, inspiring people to give and support the ministry
-
At our own mainstage concerts; at least twice each season
-
Spontaneously! Particularly at Christmas, and during Learning and Serving Trips.
For samples of our past performances,
To hear what others are saying about HtH performances,
Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.
Luke 14:35
eating together
Few experiences build community faster than gathering together around a table to share a meal or feast!
We are so grateful to many friends of HtH who give of their time, talent, and treasure to supply meals for our ensembles.
If you are interested in serving HtH through preparing meals,
How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights.
Ps 36:7-8
learning together
We devote time in our gatherings to learning, particularly topics related to leadership and justice. We aim to to develop our character and our capacity for leadership. We aim to raise our own awareness of injustice and develop healthy responses to it. Resources may include Bible study, books, videos, articles, guest speakers, conferences, and Learning & Serving Trips.
Learn along with us!
To check out some recommended resources,
Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed.
Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.
Is 1:17
serving together
We partner with ministries that do front-line justice work, supporting their awareness and fundraising efforts.
To see some of the organizations we have partnered with,
Can HtH be of service to you? Please
Even so the body is not made up of one part, but of many.
1 Cor 12:14
traveling together
Instead of "tours", when HtH travels we prefer to call them Learning & Serving Trips. L&S Trips can be international, national, regional, or local!
To see and read about some of the places we have been,
Currently, we are based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. But we have a vision to grow and plant HtH ensembles in many locations worldwide!
As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.
John 17:18
praying together
From things going on in the lives of our participants to things going on in our world, there is always lots to pray about!
Would you like to be a Prayer Partner for HtH?
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
