Music is an important part of our worship services. It can speak to the soul deeply and powerfully, creating a time of beauty and reflection. Most of our worship services are framed with a musical prelude and postlude. Two to three hymns, often drawn from Singing the Living Tradition and Singing the Journey, involve the congregation in singing. Choirs or soloists often perform a piece and an offertory. Instrumental interludes can also accompany times of reflection or prayer.

The UUFRC Choir

The choir generally sings two Sundays each month, a house band one Sunday, and individual performers on a fourth Sunday. The sanctuary has wonderful acoustics and is often used for musical performances.  Auditions are not required for the choir.

The Adult Choir leads the congregation in singing the hymns, and performs anthems two or three times monthly. Rehearsals are held weekly on Thursday evenings. No experience is needed ~ just enthusiasm and a willingness to learn.
