Before the Song at the Sea

Matt Meyer

Join us for this service via an on-line Zoom Meeting

As people of faith we’re called to work together to create the world as it might be. But finding ourselves in the story of change and transformation can bring us through discomfort and troubled water. In the midst of a status quo that can push us down, join us this Sunday for a service of story and song, and a challenge to lift each other up.

Matt Meyer is a musician and worship leader who has led hundreds of services for UU congregations across the country. He has a degree in hand drumming and serves as Director of Community Life for Sanctuary Boston.
