The UUSS Choir and Music Director Keith Atwater were pleased to help lead the congregation in celebrating Earth Day on April 28, 2019. Songs included in the program:

• “For the Beauty of the Earth” (Hymn #21)
• “Turn the World Around” by Harry Belafonte
• “For the Earth Forever Turning” (Hymn #163)
• “E Ala E (Arise)” by Ruth Gray

Tom Voigt and Rosemary Madden assisted with percussion, and Barbara Dace accompanied on recorder. We also enjoyed choreographed movement by Jimmy and Zoe Dunnaway (assisted by their mother, Michelle).

Special thanks to Terrie Taylor who provided leis for Zoe, Jimmy, and the choir to wear for the performance.
