The links to the left connect you to information about our director, choir, musicians, and more. This page is about the actual music we use, particularly the hymns. We like to have a variety of genre, including jazz, classical, choral, folk, popular, country, mixed, and international. Check our calendar for special music programs and join us. Here are some links to web sites and actual music clips of our songs for you to hear:

SPIRIT OF LIFE is sung at most services. Children also interpret the song in sign language most Sundays. A video demonstration of a child signing it is on YouTube here with the choir singing it, an explanation of why we sign it here (also read the description), and instructions on how to sign it here - permission was given by composer Carolyn McDade.

LET IT BE A DANCE is one of our favorite hymns. Ric Masten is the composer and you can listen to it on his site, which includes "Learn to follow, learn to lead, Feel the rhythm, fill the need. To reap the harvest, plant the seed. And let it be a dance."

See videos of our members singing songs from our YouTube channel - You Are Theist, I Am Humanist is a parody satire used at our annual Fellowship Dinner.

STANDING ON THE SIDE OF LOVE by Jason Shelton is the new "theme song" for Unitarian Universalism. An outstanding recording of this song is linked on the publisher's site, Yelton Rhodes Music.
