“Without music life would be a mistake.
– Friedrich Nietzsch
From the UUA web: “Music and singing are integral parts of our Unitarian Universalist (UU) worship services……music shifts the energy of worship and moves it into our bodies.”
By Donna Johnson
At our recent Worship Team retreat we spent time with WUUC’s music leaders – Matt Smith (Choir Director), Terry Levitt (Accompanist Plus), and Brad Hull (Special Music Coordinator). WUUC has been very lucky to have these three in place during our many months of Zoom services. They brought amazing renditions of choral pieces, hymns, musical responses, and special music into our homes each Sunday, and they have plans for more ways to use music to “shift the energy of worship” at WUUC in the coming months.
Matt, Terry, and Brad don’t make music all alone. They collaborate with many members of our WUUC community. These members give the gifts of their voices and musical talents when they volunteer to sing in the choir or to create “special music” for our services.
If you have been thinking about joining the choir or sharing your instrumental and/or vocal musical talents with us this is the time to step up!
Choir meets each Thursday evening over zoom. For more information, contact Matt Smith at choirdirector@wuuc.org.
Special musical pieces are used in services most weeks at WUUC. For more information or to volunteer, contact Brad Hull at bkhull@gmail.com.
