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.
Happy ‘Merry month of May’ from your Music Ministry!
THANK YOU for all the support, the compliments, the standing ovation, and other kindness shown to me and our choir after our very moving Easter Cantata, From Silence to Song on April 13th!
And THANK YOU choir members for all of your hard work, dedication, and talent to praise God together through this beautiful, inspired music!
And when you see her, please help me say THANK YOU to Beverly Fletcher, for holding us all together through each rehearsal and performance; She is still absolutely the best musician I have ever known (and she won’t mind that I’m telling you she’s 81 years young!). What a blessing!
May brings us to the end of the choir season until September. Sunday, May 18 will be their last performance, and I’m not taking it easy on them...they’re learning a song in Italian for that day! Sunday, May 25, we will all be joining in on Patriotic music for Memorial Day, so bring out all of your red, white and blue attire. Unfortunately, that will also be the day that we say goodbye to our incredible alto soloist, Cheryl Tucker. Cheryl’s sweet presence and incredible singing voice have been such a blessing to our congregation for the past few years, but she wants to spend more time with her daughter and her husband. Bless you, Cheryl, and thank you so much! Please come back for a solo anytime you want!
Grateful and Blessed,
Alan Paulson, Minister of Music
