Lyrics: "May the depth and strength of our dreams lift you up and keep
you safe. May the depth and strength of our hope keep you whole." - Kate Munger, Founder of Threshold Choirs
The all-women Threshold Choirs honor the
ancient tradition of singing at the bedsides of people who are
struggling: some with living, some with dying. The
voice, as the original human instrument, is a true and gracious vehicle
for compassion and comfort. The choirs provide opportunities for women
to share the sacred gifts of their voices at life’s thresholds.
When we are invited to a bedside, we visit in
small groups. We invite families and caregivers to join us in song or
to participate by listening. We choose songs to respond to musical
taste, spiritual direction, and physical capacity. The songs may
include rounds, chants, lullabies, hymns, spirituals, and choral music.
The service is our gift; there is no charge. We gratefully accept donations for our ongoing expenses.
