Music Department
Music is an important part of the Services and Activities of Unity in the Valley.
Music Department. The Music Department of our Church is responsible for the vocal and instrumental music at each Sunday Worship Service, as well as at our annual Christmas Candlelight Service, our Easter Sunday Worship Service, and various other special musical events.

Musicians. Various vocal or instrumental soloists, or vocal duets or trios perform at our Sunday Worship Services and other events, such as our Christmas Eve Candlelight Service. Some of our musicians compose and/or arrange music sung by our soloists.
Choir Rehearsals have been temporally suspended.
Musical Instruments. We are also interested in anyone who plays a musical instrument, and who can furnish his or her own instrument (other than organ or piano) for rehearsals, services, and special performances. See Rev. Guerette or Mary Lou Catania.
Our musicians continue looking forward to serving our Unity in the Valley and our Congregation.
