Music is an integral part of the Namaqua community.  Our Director of Music, Ryan Marvel, believes in the transformative power of music.   He collaborates closely with the worship and ministry teams to help bring diverse, healing and uplifting music that adds to the spirituality and meaning of our services. 

Our members are passionate about music and love to share their talents. If you’re interested in joining them, or have questions about how to get involved in the music program,

contact Ryan Marvel at MusicDir@NamaquaUU.org

CHOIR

CHOIR Our adult choir sings a wide variety of music, including world, classical, contemporary and chant.  We believe that joining our voices in song builds community and brings us all closer together.  And – we have a lot of fun while doing it! 

We meet each Thursday evening from 6:30 – 8:00 pm in the Sanctuary.  We generally sing 1-2 times per month for Sunday services, Sept-May. No audition is necessary, just an enthusiasm for music.  All are welcome!

UUKES

We also have The UUkes, a group of people who love to play ukuleles and have fun together. They occasionally play for a Worship Service or special event. They meet on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday evening at 6:30 PM in Parker Hall. Any and all are welcome to join. Contact Marion Cox at cox.mari@gmail.com for more information.

MUSIC MINISTRY

The Music Ministry supports the overall mission of music in the church. (See vision and mission below.)  We meet monthly to talk about how to support our Director of Music, as well as plan for musical special events.  The Music Ministry also facilitates The Fleming Memorial Fund, which is used to hire special guest musicians and groups.  If you would like to learn more about the Fleming Memorial Fund, including how to donate, or general Music Ministry information, please contact Chair Marion Cox at cox.mari@gmail.com
