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."
View recorded musical offerings on our Worship 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.
Greetings from your Music Ministry!
Let me begin with one more huge THANK YOU to the 3 amazing ladies of “TLC” (Tender Loving Crooners) for their delightful love songs from several decades presented to us on Valentines weekend, March 15! Our congregation loved it!
We finally finished putting away Christmas music and now it’s time for Lent and Easter music! A wonderful, worshipful, time in our faith and full of glorious, emotional music. In addition to all the music that our Choir and Praise Team are preparing for our Sunday services, here’s what’s
coming up:
Sunday, March 29: PALM SUNDAY AND CANTATA SUNDAY! Complete with our Choir, Praise Team, guest singers and instrumentalists from the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra, all at our 10:00 am service. The perfect chance to invite some friends and neighbors looking for a church home.
Looking into April…
Thursday, April 2: HOLY WEEK continues with an ecumenical Maundy Thursday service at 5:00 pm right here at United Church, with several area churches and pastors participating. Special music will be provided by our Praise Team.
EASTER SUNDAY, April 5 will include our Sunrise Service at the Sun Bowl at 7:00 am, with our Choir providing welcome music starting at 6:45 am.
At 10:00 am there will be a continental breakfast, a short message, and more special music in our sanctuary.
April 12 is our annual HOLY HUMOR SUNDAY! Be sure to wear loud, mismatched clothes and shoes, or at least a goofy hat. We will still be praising God, but with more light-hearted ‘make a JOYful noise’ kind of music!
Yours for a song,
Alan Paulson
Minister of Music
