- Fellowship Choir is our traditional choir. Members should
be able to read music. The Fellowship Choir rehearses a couple of times each month during Middle Hour (10:00 am) from September through May. We prepare choral music for Sunday services, when we sing during the 11:00 am service. Questions, or want to get involved? Contact Rick Bjella at rick.bjella@gmail.com. - Joyful Noise Choir (formerly Pop-Up Choir) is our
intentionally multi-generational choir for people of all ages who just want to have fun singing. We meet approximately once per month during Middle Hour (10:00 am) on Sunday mornings to learn a song quickly for that day’s 11:00 am service. Questions, or want to get involved? Contact Tam Masters at tam@fvuuf.org.
- mUUse is a collective of volunteer musicians that prepares
rock, pop, folk, and other styles for Sunday services approximately once per month. We meet as needed during the week to prepare for Sunday services. Questions, or want to get involved? Contact Dave Strachan at david.s.strachan@gmail.com.
- Guest instrumentalists and ensembles provide instrumental music as needed for hymns and special music in services. Interested in helping? Contact Tam Masters at tam@fvuuf.org.
- Guest pianists and hymn leaders can share their musical voices in leading the congregation. Our regular accompanist is Brian Hutzell. If you’re willing to help out with accompaniment or hymn leadership, contact Tam Masters at tam@fvuuf.org.

At 9:00 am during the program year, our accompanist provides music and hymn leadership. At 11:00 am, we have “special music” to support the service. See below for the music schedule, and note that all rehearsals take place during the 10:00 am Middle Hour unless otherwise specified.
