Our Fellowship

Sunday Services Music
The mission of the music programs at UUFSD is to support and enhance the fellowship by integrating a variety of musical experiences in the community

Music is an important part of our Sunday service, with plenty of singing by the congregation and our choir. A typical service includes a prelude, two congregational songs, music for meditation, and a postlude. Talented vocal and instrumental soloists frequently perform at our services, especially on non-choir Sundays.
