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."

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 August from your Music Ministry!
A big THANK YOU to all of our congregants who have had such kind words about our Praise Team’s music this summer! It’s always a blessing to have our Music and our preparation appreciated, because in some churches I’ve sung in, it was just seen as necessary “filler.”
Our talented organist and accompanist, Beverly Fletcher, is about halfway through her four week vacation, her first vacation from our Sunday services in 11 years! We hope she’s enjoying her relaxed schedule for a change.
We thank God that we have another talented keyboard artist in Rev. Floyd Ellison, who is doing a masterful job with all of our music in Beverly’s absence! I suggested we double his weekly salary, but since he refuses to take any, now I say we triple it!!
Please continue praying for everybody’s favorite soprano, our beautiful Kira Funk and her husband, Jacob, as they await the birth of their first child, “Evangeline,” in September! A rare miracle, indeed, in our congregation! Thank You, Lord!
Looking ahead: CHOIR REHEARSALS begin on Sunday, September 20; every Sunday, 8:40 to 9;40 am. We desperately need more singers! It’s free, no obligation, so this would be a great time to suggest to a friend or neighbor, “I’ll try it if you will.” We will seat you by people who will help you every step of the way, and you will have the singular opportunity of performing a beautiful Christmas Cantata with a professional Orchestra! Ask any of our members who’ve done it… It’s an absolute ‘bucket list’ experience!
In His Glory,
Alan Paulson
Minister of Music
