Music and Choir
Through music we can transform ourselves, each other, and the world.
The Music Program at UUCPA is one of our strengths. We are committed to enhancing worship. It can be a gentle way to build community within UUCPA. We also use our music programs to reach out to the larger community and to express our values beyond the church.
Many of the classes and activities are led by lay leaders. Our Music Director, Bruce Olstad, and the Music Committee are available to advocate for our music offerings and to support the leaders as needed. If you want to lead another activity making music at church, contact us.
Our current Music Program includes:
- Adult Choir
- Pastoral Care Choir – By Your Side Singers
- Bodhi Tree Concerts
- “Sacred Harp” Singing
- First–Sunday Sing Community Singing
- Harmonic Circle (formerly Sing for Democracy)
