WORSHIP SERVICE
"Celebrate Earth Day with BIG MUSIC SUNDAY:
A Harmonious Tribute to Our Planet!"
​
Sunday, April 19, 10:50 am, 2026
Mark Caswell, Ministerial Intern, preaching
​
Music Forces Behind UUSF present BIG MUSIC SUNDAY THIS SUNDAY. April 19th in honor of Earth Day observances.
​
You will not want to be anywhere else than the sanctuary this coming Sunday morning to experience our choir joined by the UU Church of Berkeley Choir and professional orchestra in music specifically selected and arranged for our UU Earth Day Service 2026.
​
The featured music will be Cecilia MacDowell's "The Ice is Listening." The three movements of her work contain evocative poetry by Kate Wakeling around the theme of ice: from the nostalgia of frost fairs to a reflection on today's climate crisis, with concern for an uncertain future. The orchestra and singers also join for a world premiere of an arrangement of composer Jessica Margolin's Dona nobis pacem. Ms. Margolin will be in attendance and share a few words about the inspiration behind her work.
​
UUSF's Environmental Justice team will be on hand to bring proper attention to issues, promoting events at the church following the service. Following the Big Music Service, join with everyone in the courtyard for MORE music, great food, and inspired conversation.
