Unitarian Universalist musician
Unitarian Universalist musician, composer, and activist, Jim Scott, brought his contemporary and multicultural music to First UU on Sunday, March 31. Jim along with Rev. Joan M. Sabatino embraced the service’s topic, Leaning Toward the Sun – Rebirth & Renewal. Jim has shared his talents in more than 500 UU churches over 27 years. His much loved “Gather the Spirit” and a number of others are included in UU hymn books and are a favorite of our choir and congregation. In concerts and Sunday services, Jim speaks with passion on ecology, justice and peace. His lyrical poetry and stories are calls to action, full of hope and gentle wit. The First UU choir under the direction of Jane Potter Baumer along with pianist, Matt Baumer, made for a lively musical experience for all in attendance. Jim Scott is shown sharing his song, “Gather the Spirit” while choir member, Don Lancaster, looks on.
