This year we want it to be full of (hold on...) music making! Music making by all who want to make music at UCM. That includes you in the Choir and those outside the Choir who have been hoping to be included, both singers and instrumentalists.

The event will take place at UCM from 2 - 6 pm on one of these three dates: August 26, September 2, or September 9. (UCM starts the new church year on September 10.)
