Welcome to the United Church of Sun City
Choir
Our chancel choir has approximately 10 to 20 singers, depending on the time of year, and our anthems vary from classical through contemporary in style.
We have a vibrant and talent-filled music program at United Church of Sun City
The mission of our program is to provide music that enhances the liturgy and enables our congregation to pray twice through the music. When our organist first came she told our minister of music that her job was to "take the congregation to the throne of God every week."
View recorded musical offerings on our Worship Page.
Minister of Music Alan Paulson brings over 40 years of successful music director experience in Christian Churches, public schools, performance choirs and community colleges to our Church. Alan earned his Masters in Choral Music Conducting at ASU and continues expanding his trade by taking courses to maintain his certifications.
Happy October from your Music Ministry!
After living in Phoenix for 47 years, it still feels like it’s such a miracle, such a gift from God, when the summer weather finally goes away. Even when we’re still the hottest city in America during much of October, it’s still such a relief, isn’t it?
We members of the Praise Team extend a sincere THANK YOU to everyone who supported us with many kind words through our singing in June, July, August, and September. Please help me thank Kira Funk, Brenda Goodenberger, Michael Nanney, and Cheryl Tucker. We all know talented singers, but it’s a whole different level when they give of their time and their talents and their gas money to rehearse and perform during worship services in praise of our Lord Jesus Christ. And Cheryl is always very busy as the Choral Director at Centennial High School. She is constantly preparing for upcoming concerts and competitions, even starring in a Broadway show! She took over when Kira surprised us with baby Evangeline three weeks early!
Yes, choir season has officially begun, but it’s not too late for YOU to think about joining us! There’s always someone to sit beside who will help you find your way. I know we have a lot of talent amongst people sitting out there in the congregation.
October 25 is our “Broadway Sunday” service! This year’s service includes songs from “The Wiz,” and “Dear Evan Hanson” and “Fiddler on the Roof!” Three famous musicals that couldn’t be more different from each other, but still with beautiful inspirational music. Invite some friends!
MARK YOUR CALENDAR AND INVITE SOME FRIENDS TO OUR UPCOMING SPECIAL EVENTS:
