The links to the left connect you to information about our director, choir, musicians, monthly open mic coffee house, 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. The lyrics include "Spirit of life come unto me. Sing in my heart all the stirrings of compassion. Blow in the wind; rise in the sea. Move in the hand giving life the shape of justice." Here is a link for an mp3 of the congregation singing it.

LET IT BE A DANCE is one of our favorite hymns. Ric Masten is the composer and you can read the lyrics and 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.

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.
