Music
Ministry
Music is an
integral part of Unity's spiritual service. In the early years a soloist
sang special music as part of the service. Currently,
the choir sings at special Sunday Services. For other Sundays, the music
director draws upon an array of talented instrumentalists and vocalists
from within our own congregation, the local community, and across the nation.
. In 1982 Carol Browne became the first music director and she was succeeded
in order by Jan Armentrout, P.J. Slobojan, Nina Swanson, and Elena Nichols.
In the summer
of 2001 Nancy Dearborn became our "Music Coordinator", and Nina
Swanson resumed a primary role in the music program. Nancy
has attracted some of the best of the area talent to perform at our Sunday
services. Nina, a talented vocalist and piano musician, has developed
both youth and adult choirs. Christmas cantatas and youth Christmas musicals
became traditions. A gospel choir, formed by Kathy Gregor, has made
appearances at Sunday services in the last several years.
Unity has been
blessed with the most superb music to inspire us. Please let the
minister know if you would like to contribute your musical talents to Unity!
As Charles Fillmore
put it, "singing is like praying twice."
