May 7, 2023 service for the First Unitarian Church of Salt Lake City. Sermon by the Reverend Monica Dobbins.
It is with joy and gratitude that we say farewell to the Junior Singers for the church year. Their delightful and energetic spirits, as well as their happiness-infused musical voices, have brought much magic to our church this past year. Thank you, youngsters! And also: thank you, Ms. Nikki, for your devoted help in coaching, corralling, and directing this joyful ensemble of young singers!
