Sing Out Love: A Mostly-Music Service
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains
June 21, 2026
UUCM Musicians and friends with Rev. Kevin
Gail Johnson Vaughan, Worship Associate
UUCM continues its annual offering of an all-music service, this year vibrating the rafters of a new congregation home with the artistry and hearts of UUCM musicians and friends, including the ringing voices of all assembled. Together, let’s “Sing Out Love” (and play out Love), as the title of the new virtual UU song source invites, and so bless this new home for all that it will yet hold.
