Under the direction of Jake Shannon, Faith United's choir sings a wide variety of music from traditional pieces such as Stainer's "God So Loved the World" and gospel music such as  Moses Hogan's "Hear My Prayer" to contemporary selections such as "Open the Eyes of My Heart" by Baloche and Byrne.  The choir rehearses weekly on Wednesdays at 7 pm in the church choir room with a follow up rehearsal in the Sanctuary Sunday morning at 8:45 am.  No matter if you are a beginner or a veteran singer, you are welcome to join us. During the COVID-19 outbreak, in-person choir activities (such as live singing) have been temporarily suspended.  We will resume normal activities as circumstances permit.  In the meantime, we are individually recording our voices remotely for use during the live-streamed worship service.

Open Dialogue sessions offer an opportunity for discussion of matters of importance to the faith community.  Due to the later start time for our worship services, Open Dialogue are now being held  before the Sunday worship service rather than after. 

Our most recent Open Dialogue session was held on October 26 at 10 am.  Open Dialogue will resume again in the February.     If you'd like to join us, please use the same Zoom meeting link you would use for Sunday worship.

Adult Study, is an active part of our Christian Education program.  We meet nearly every Sunday morning at 10:00 am before the worship service.  In adult study we have discussed a wide variety of topics ranging from theological matters such as "stewardship" and the "sacraments" to contemporary issues such as "gun control" and "racial profiling".   Our source material has included the UCC's Witness For Justice webpage commentaries as well as Thoughtful Christian study packs.  We have also discussed the writings of contemporary authors on moral/theological matters such as C. S. Lewis, John Polkinghorne, Walter Brueggemann,  and Barbara Brown Taylor.  Although occasionally our discussions on a given theme may range over several weeks, each Sunday session is a self-contained unit and persons are welcome to join us at any time.  We also have the capability to bring  home-bound participants to our discussion table via video conferencing apps such as Skype or Zoom.   Each summer, we discuss one or two novels that features theological/moral themes.   This Advent season we are discussing essays in the Advent Devotional booklet  What's Left of the Night.    During the COVID-19 outbreak, we have been meeting remotely via Zoom.   Now that pandemic restrictions are easing, we have moved to "hybrid" sessions with some folks being physically present in the church building while others participate on-line via Zoom.  If you would like to join us on Zoom, please use the same Zoom meeting link as for the regular Sunday worship service.
