Music United is a diverse association of people passionate about music in The United Church of Canada, Canada's largest Protestant denomination. Musicians, clergy, laity, worship committee members - all are welcome to join us as we seek to further the cause of music within the church. Our mission statement:

Music United exists for the mutual encouragement and support of those who provide musical leadership in the worship of local congregations, presbyteries, conferences, and General Council of The United Church of Canada; and to do this by means of workshops, consultations, publications, and opportunities to work together for the greater glory of God.

Rhythms of the Spirit event a huge success!

What happens when you combine an event in southern Alberta with beautiful spring weather, great theme presentations, meaningful worship, terrific food, lots of musicians, and a skilled planning team? A huge success!

Here are some comments from participants:

"Thanks to Rhythms of the Spirit's organizers for breaking new ground in the musical ministry of our church. Trust was demanded amongst liturgists and musicians and speakers, and the result was a dynamism that broke lots of boundaries and set the stage for an amazing finale...also called the "Celebration of Ministry". 　Our United Church of Canada is a little bit groovier thanks to "Rhythms of the Spirit".

Thanks for making Brian (Browne) and I part of the scene."
