The Provo Interfaith Choir is pleased to announce United We Sing! ~ Then Sings My Soul. The evening promises to be one not to be missed as the choir and friends perform and welcomes friends from the community for music and messages to uplift and inspire Friday, November 2nd, at 7pm at the Provo Community Congregational United Church of Christ.
The next two weeks we will be missing our friend and Pastor as he travels to Texas for medical appointments and be wih family and friends. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers for safety and good results with his health.

This week the church and Provo Pride, now in its sixth year, welcomed all in the area to meet and worship together during the Provo Pride Interfaith Night. The service had several speakers, including our friend Rev. J. Keith Cupples, several musical performers, and our organist Dave Lewis who collaborated with the event’s organizer. It was a well-attended evening and we look forward to more of these in the future.

Come share your talent and love of music with new friends and our community as we join together beginning August 19th at 5pm at the Provo Community Congregational United Church of Christ (175 north University Avenue, Provo). The choir is open to all denominations or if you are unaffiliated with any ages 16 and old. While no auditions are held for the choir, musical and singing abilities are very helpful. The choir sings uplifting music from religious, classical, musicals and movies, and Christmas. We are excited about several upcoming performances this season, so come join the fun and be a part of good here in Utah Valley!
Over the past few years we have been working to improve the church building and grounds, inside and out. In November of 2017, a torrential rain storm caught the area by surprise, and especially the church, as the ceilings gave way to water that found its way inside and collected above the ceilings. Multiple areas were damaged, including the sanctuary where part of the ceiling collapsed. Thankfully, no one was hurt. Despite having the roof inspected twice a year, the damage was done. The church’s insurance does not cover the cost of the repairs to the roof or to the interior. Patches have been made to the roof to buy some time, skylights replaced, and the interior has had the ceiling tiles removed that are no longer able to be matched and replaced with drywall that is awaiting paint. The roofs, fascia, and gutters of the church need replacing, and multiple interior areas need other work as well that were damaged and need updating. To add to the problem, it appears the shingles used on the A-frame also contain asbestos.
The church needs your financial help, in a big way. We as our current members, our former members, and our community to assist in this task. We are currently accepting donations towards this cause. Thank you so much. Please spread the word for us too.
