Music is an expression of joy and is often called the universal language. It can open the heart and remind us of our spirituality, making it easier to address some of the challenges we face. It is also a gift of God’s love we can share with all of life.
Unity North is grateful for the wonderful musicians who bring beauty and joy to our Sunday Services.
