Music


Music opens the soul and prepares one to experience the presence of God. UOTR takes pride in its unique music program, which attracts talent from all over New England and incorporates many musical genres, including gospel, blues, rock, R&B, chant, and folk. Because creative expression and innovation is an integral part of the ministry at UOTR, there is a also commitment to draw upon the rich pool of talent within UOTR’s own congregation.

Each week, music is carefully selected to enhance the spiritual theme for both the Sunday and Wednesday services .

If  you wish to serve on this ministry, contact Ken Clark.
