Music This Month
This year’s annual Festival of Lessons and Carols is the Joyous Sunday of Advent, Dec. 15, in the 10:00 am service. The theme is “All Creation Sings!” and features a variety of Advent and Christmas music centered on the idea that, not only do we humans rejoice at the birth of the Savior, but so does all of nature. The music and readings take us from the creation of first light, to the seas and water, the earth and skies, flora and fauna and humans, and end with celebrating the One who is the light of the world.
Once again, we’ll open membership in the choir to those who’d like to join on a short-term basis. If you want to sing in the Festival Choir, please plan to start attending rehearsals on Wednesday, Nov. 20, 7:00 pm. Please let us know you’re coming by writing me at unitedchurch.brad@gmail.com so we’ll have a packet of music for you. And for everyone else, please mark your calendars for this special service, and
invite your friends!

As People of faith, we’re called to “make a joyful noise,” and we try our best to do just that at United. Reach out to our music staff, and join in!

If you play an instrument, whatever your age, then please let Music Director Brad Ellingboe know (unitedchurch.brad@gmail.com). Music at United is played not only on the Steinway Piano in the Sanctuary, but also on drums, violins, guitars, trumpets, and lots of other instruments, too.
