This service will provide musical resources from today and yesterday that we can use together to provide a singing resistance. Please come prepared to raise your voice in song and solidarity.

Song can be very powerful. It can cut as deep as swords. It can bring joy and fearlessness into every situation. It can bring down walls. It can help us become one, build solidarity, and joint commitment to important values and principles.

On Aug 31, Matt Johnsen, Christan Carney (tenor) and Martha (Sandy) Kiefer (cello) will lead an exploration of the Justice Choir Songbook, a book of accessible songs that promote peace and Justice.  Over the summer, Matt and Christan have been developing the Worcester Peace Choir, an inclusive group of singers who recently performed at the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of Hiroshima. This morning,

We will explore the Justice Choir Songbook by singing from it. All are welcome, and this morning will provide an opportunity to learn songs that could be used in church, on the picket line, or at gatherings devoted to peace and Justice.

The theme of Music Sunday is More Love: Infectious Generosity. In this moment of fear and anxiety, it’s important to focus on the potency of love and generosity. A recent book called Infectious Generosity provides examples how unrestrained generosity, even beyond what might seem rational, can change our society in important ways. Music Sunday will focus on ways in which we can all share more love.
