Music United

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."

The third printing of More Voices will carry the imprints of United Church Publishing House, Wood Lake Publishing, and Westminister-John Knox.

After years of advocacy by Music United and its predecessor UCCAM, The United Church of Canada has adopted a new ministry category for musicians!

Enjoy these beautiful expressions of faith, which affirm the musical gifts of the Spirit.
