Sunday, October 26th - The Gift of Music: Celebrating the Music Ministry of Norman Corey
Join us on Sunday, October 26th at 10:30am in-person or via livestream for our special farewell service “The Gift of Music: Celebrating the Music Ministry of Norman Corey” led by Rev. Rebecca Froom.
On this Sunday, we celebrate the gift of music in our UFPC community and say farewell to our Music Director, Norman Corey, upon his retirement. Music and the arts are a vital part of the human experience. Gathering for worship offers us the unique opportunity to create music together and to experience live music. Music will be provided by Norman Corey and his family (his wife, Rita Corey, and their son, Jonathan Corey), as well as our UFPC Choir, and regular guest violinist, Jagan Nath Khalsa. In the social hour after the service, we will raise a toast of gratitude to Norman for his 43 years of musical service!
