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 June from your Music Ministry!
“June is bustin’ out all over! ♬” But God willing, the weather will cool down by Thanksgiving Our Music Ministry has shifted gears to ‘summer mode’ giving the Choir a break until their first rehearsal of the fall season on September 21! (please consider joining us then, we need voices!!)
That means that our Praise Team is even more dedicated than usual to providing our congregation with inspired, worshipful, well rehearsed choral and solo music to enhance everyone’s worship experience each Sunday!
We are saddened to say goodbye to our wonderful alto soloist, Cheryl Tucker, who chooses to spend more weekend time with her husband and daughter. We know she will continue to inspire her choral students at Centennial High School for many years to come. Thank you, and good luck, Cheryl! And, yes, she promises to come back and sing for us occasionally.
As we search for a new tenor (can you recommend anyone?) we are very grateful that we can include the talents of Boni Locke and Andrea Dixon to help with our Praise Team music this summer.
Hopefully, you are reading this before Sunday, June 1st, so you don’t miss a very special Sunday morning at United Church. A group of 14 singers called “New Generation” from Community of Grace Lutheran Church will be providing our music that morning! We rarely get to enjoy our service with students from grades 6 through 12, so please plan to be there!
My sincere thanks to our ongoing summer crew: Kira Funk, Brenda Goodenberger, Floyd Ellison, Beverly Fletcher and of course, “it takes an audio/video village” including Greg Yagi, Lester Atkinson and Robin Lemkuil.
Blessings,
Alan Paulson,
Minister of Music
