Embracing Joy Through Song

Embracing Joy Through Song

At OCUUC, music has always been a source of connection, reflection, and celebration. This April, as we explore the theme of Joy, our music program will bring uplifting melodies and inspiring harmonies to enrich our worship. From choral anthems to soul-stirring instrumental performances, each Sunday will offer a musical experience designed to remind us of the joy that can be found in community, resilience, and gratitude.

We’re excited to feature a diverse range of musical expressions this month including beloved congregational hymns. Our choir will share pieces that celebrate the lightness of spirit and bring fresh interpretations of songs that evoke joy in all its forms. We invite you to open your heart to the transformative power of music. Music is a profound way to express joy—not just in moments of celebration, but as a practice of embracing life fully. Join us this April as we lift our voices together and celebrate the deep and abiding joy that music brings to our shared journey.
