The Union of Youth of the Union of Spiritual
Communities of Christ has always recognized the importance
of choral singing in the lives of Doukhobors, and continues
to stress it as one means of preserving the valuable Doukhobor
culture and of developing better understanding and friendship
among the peoples of the world.
The Grand Forks Union of Youth Choir continues to participate
at most Union of Youth functions, including Christmas and
New Year's programs, Talent Nights, and the annual U.S.C.C.
Youth Festival.
These young people are active in community projects, they
participate at muilticultural folk festivals, they present
their own Variety concerts, and maintain close ties with
Doukhobors living in other areas.
The most significant undertakings of the choir in the recent
past, have been its presentations at Expo '74 in Spokane,
Washington, and its visit with the Molokan people in California
during the spring of 1975.
It is hoped that activities such as this will continue
in the future, and the message of love and peace, which
the Doukhobors value so highly, will be spread throughout
the world.
