February 26
Our Spring Music Service: Singing The Living Tradition
In 1999, at the annual conference of the Unitarian Universalist Musicians Network, the Rev. Tom Chulak pointed out in a sermon that among major religions, Unitarian Universalism is unique in that it has no scripture and no one unifying Holy Book that is used by all worshipers. What we do have however, is the hymnal. Mimi Stevens will guide us through a tour of UU history through Singing the Living Tradition. Our choirs will lead our congregation and guests in singing hymns celebrating our UU heritage. The hymn singing will be punctuated with historical anecdotes as Ms. Stevens illuminates the living tradition which is the Unitarian Universalist faith journey.
