"Singing the Journey" The Rev. Douglas Wadkins
Come celebrate singing in our life. We will have special musical guests, The Bloomington Chamber Singers, under the direction of Gerry Sousa, and all will be invited to explore the power of congregational singing. We will sing songs from the Unitarian Universalist hymnal "Singing the Journey," often referred to as the "teal hymnal." The service will include singing some of our new favorites as well as trying some new pieces within the context of honoring the various ways that music may deepen our journey.
