Welcome to the United Church of Sun City
Choir
Our chancel choir has approximately 20 to 30 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 Sermon 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.
Special Music
The church regularly hosts special music performances for the congregation. They range from concerts at the monthly ice cream socials, to the Palm Sunday and Christmas Cantatas, to a three-concert Chamber Music and continental breakfast concert series and more. We announce upcoming performances in the calendar and at the top of this page.
….from your Music Ministry: Happy February!
Or as my little brother used to call it because his birthday is on the 11th, “Featherberry.”
I can’t tell you how much we church musicians appreciate your kind words, texts, and emails after our varied musical offerings each Sunday! Don’t I get to work with a lot of talented people?!? And of course, all of these people prepare at home, get up before the sun on Sundays, using their gas money and so much of their free time to share the talents that God has given them. United Church is truly blessed!
Right now, we are enjoying some of our “General” church year anthems as plans are being made to dive into our Lent and Easter music:
- February 23 will be Gospel Music Sunday
- March 2 we will have Lan Qui be our guest violinist!
- (March 4 is “Fat Tuesday”...plan accordingly; calories don’t count ☺)
- March 5 is Ash Wednesday
- April 13… our Palm Sunday/Easter cantata, accompanied by members of the Phoenix Symphony again!
- April 20...Easter Sunrise Service at the Sun Bowl, plus our 10 o’clock Brady Bunch service (and no, he doesn’t want to call it that ☺)
So much glorious, worshipful music coming our way ♬ ♪ ♫ ♥ !!!
