The week of July 6th
The month of July begins with a service led by Bobby Withrow on Sunday, July 6th, centering around the theme of “Dreams.” Su Lee will provide dreamy keyboard music for the Prelude and Postlude, while Jessie Downs will sing beloved pop tunes by Billy Joel and The Cranberries as the Offertory and Reflection.

The week of July 13th
On Sunday, July 13th, Shaun Doyle and Su Lee will share music that they hope will inspire generosity and welcoming for Chris Slocum’s service entitled, “Generosity Creates This.”

The week of July 20th
On Sunday, July 20th, Su Lee, Ji Eun Kim, and pianist Hangyu Bai (visiting from China) will share selections in support of Julie Taylor’s service.

The week of July 27th
To close out the month on Sunday, July 27th, we will be treated to Fran Manly and Doug Yeoman’s annual joint service, which this year is entitled, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” Musical selections will include “Rainbow Connection,” “Hard Times (Come Again No More),” “Over the Rainbow,” “Amazing Grace,” “The Darkest Hour,” and a Doug Yeoman’s original, as well as three participatory hymns.

Guest Musicians
In addition to performances by our choir and staff musicians, we also regularly feature guest musicians in our services, both volunteers from our own congregation and featured artists from the greater Buffalo area. These guests represent a broad range of musical styles. If you are interested in being a guest, you can reach out to Music Director Dr. Jessie Downs (jdowns@buffalouu.org) with a proposal.
