Unitarian Universalist composer Rev. Jason Shelton is one of our
faith's most prolific composers and he is best known to our congregation for
his hymns "Standing on the Side of Love", "The Fire of
Commitment", and "Morning Has Come" among others. Our teal
hymnal has many of his arrangements as well and our vocal ensembles have sung
his choral arrangements with some frequency. Rev. Shelton, who is from
Nashville, is in the area to serve as the clinician for the Puget Sound
Unitarian Universalist Music Festival and will be leading a worship service
on Sunday afternoon along with the 160 voice Festival Choir, and our pianist
and drummer John Hansen and Larry Jones, 4:00pm at the Kirkland Performance
Center. A freewill offering will be taken.
