Music and Choir
Our choir director is Sylvia Zeelenberg, a highly dedicated volunteer who is passionate about music and the role music plays in building community.
Choir practices have been on hiatus since Covid began, but if you love to sing we encourage you to contact Sylvia. There are occasional get-togethers.
Weekly choir practices are before services on Sunday from 12:15-1:15 pm. Unitarians use a common hymn book called ” Singing the Living Tradition”. SFUC augments this with the music of BC song writer Joyce Poley, musicologist Jason Shelton and others. No auditions, just fun!
Leslie Chen, is our pianist. She creates a sacred space by playing several beautiful pieces each Sunday, ranging from classical to contemporary.
An exciting addition to our music ministry is the ukulele group. People of all ages are learning a few chords and sounding great in such a short time! We hope to make this a monthly gathering and to be able to take our ukes out into the community for all kinds of occasions.
