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.
Yet more than skill, her warmth shines bright,
A beacon of God’s love and light.
With every smile, each soft embrace,
She brings His presence, peace, and grace.
So, Beverly, we honor you,
For all the joy your hands renew.
A faithful servant, kind and true,
May God’s great love play on through you.
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.
VERY WARM greetings from your Music Ministry! Especially those of you who are sticking around Sun City during this hot weather, with the rest of us! We appreciate you!
Thank you Andrea Dixon, for continuing to be our guest tenor for the months of June and July! Boni Locke will be taking a turn at that position for August and September...Thank you, Boni.
If you are reading this before the Fourth of July holiday, please remember to wear all of your red, white, and blue clothing at the same time on Sunday, July 6! We will be sharing some celebratory music to thank God for giving us this great nation!
SPECIAL GUEST SOLOIST ON JULY 20TH: You won’t want miss the incredible singing by Miguel Jackson, who has sung professionally on many stages and cruise ships, and now resides in Surprise. Invite your friends!
ARE YOU IN AWE OF OUR OWN BEVERLY FLETCHER AS MUCH AS I AM? She slides quickly from organ to piano and back, can play anything better than any pianist you’ve ever heard, can transpose anything to any key, and makes it sound much better than it’s already written for her! Many times, she doesn’t even look at the sheet music or her fingers for an entire song… And one reason that she is certainly God’s gift to us is that she’s 81 years young! One of her many fans has written this beautiful poem about her:
Also, please continue to pray for our choir member L. Joe Ford, who has serious
health challenges, while dealing with constant concerns about the care of his dear
wife, Elise. Joe has a long history of being a dependable and talented church musician.
Blessings, Alan Paulson, Minister of Music
A Tribute to Beverly
With graceful hands and heart so true,
She lifts our souls with music new.
Each Sunday morn, her fingers glide,
Through hymns that stir and sanctify.
A gift so rare, a touch divine,
She weaves each note in perfect time.
And when she shifts from key to key,
Our voices rise in harmony.
From gospel chords to songs of grace,
She fills this chapel’s sacred space.
A melody of love she shares,
That lifts our hearts and soothes our cares.
