All Souls Unitarian Church
Choir Members Speak

"I like Choir because I have a chance to do something I have always enjoyed, and I wonder why I gave it up for so, so long.  I have
sung music that is so different, so energetic, so moving--it fills me."     ~Ann

"We share a common bond of religious philosophy which we joyfully express through our dedicated love of music."     ~Rex

"I am in choir because the group welcomed me even though I had never had any vocal experience...  I have always loved music and
came with a basic understanding of reading music but was terrified the first few weeks.  I find, however, that singing, and being
surrounded by the vibrations of other singing voices, is a very life-giving and life-changing experience--healing, like a balm for the
soul.  Even when I felt like I was stumbling through a song, the rest of the choir was there to hold and contain me with their voices.  
Somewhere toward the end of the first year, I realized there might also be times when my voice was offering that support to
someone else."     ~Liza

"community and music, enrich soul and broaden community--joyful service"     ~Jenny

"I've been in volunteer church choirs ever since I could sing, but the fearlessness, compassion, and joyfulness of this group surpasses
any other!"     ~Nathan

"I am in choir because singing is a joyful and healthful thing to do, and because everyone in choir treats each other like they are
family, and because Courtney and her husband, Nathan, enhance and enrich our shared joy in making music together as a family for
the broader family that sits in the pews every week."     ~Sandy
