More Like a Plant Than a Jewel: Vulnerability & Growth

Music Ministry

Special Services

Music Ministry

Music is a big part of Sunday Worship  Service at UUCM. Our music director, Paul Winchester, brings a lively  array of genres from folk to rock,  jazz to classical, and occasionally a little rap!  


Music is especially celebrated annually each spring with Music Sunday where the worship service is led by our Music, the service is alive with loud and vibrant music! 


The UUCM Band plays many times throughout the year, and includes drums, bass, acoustic guitar, and cello. 


UUCM also has a large and talented choir. They sing about once a month, and rehearsal about three times a  month. Once or twice a year, an Invitational Choir is assembled for  people who wish to sing in the choir but not make a permanent commitment. 


Musical performances and recruitment of guest musicians is also facilitated by the Church Council Music Ministry team.
