The UUMC Choir has an open invitation to university students who wish to sing. This is a warm and open group where students for many years have found not only a fun, musical experience, but also a home away from home. We follow the UT semester schedule in planning special events and keep rehearsals to a minimum. We rehearse Wednesday nights from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Sunday mornings preceding the 11:00 a.m. worship service. We ask for regular attendance on Wednesdays and Sundays.
