Each Sunday service at Unity begins and ends with music. Music invites everyone to separate from external distractions and focus inward to experience Spirit directly. Songs are chosen which resonate with the theme of the minister’s message. They communicate in a way that engages the heart and spirit as well as the mind. Music is strategically placed within the context of the service to provide an experience of seamless flow from beginning to end. It creates an atmosphere in which we can open our hearts and transform our lives.
Each service contains music that invites participation. By joining in song we demonstrate our unity as we all become one in the experience of listening and creating. Sometimes the music invites us to express our joy in celebration. Other times it helps us focus our attention as we quietly chant our way into meditation.
We carefully chose the name “Synergy” for our group of musicians. The word comes from a Greek root meaning “cooperation,” and it is our cooperation and our “unity” of purpose that makes the music we create together at Unity Church of SA so much more than the sum of its parts.
Dana Clark is the Music Director. She sings, plays piano, guitar, sax, and flutes, and writes and arranges music for the services.
Husband and wife Dana Clark and Kevin Lewis play together in the five piece band "The Lewis and Clark Musical Expedition." They also perform with fellow songwriters Kit Holmes and Chris Pfeiffer as "Light Travelers," a band that plays all original New Thought Music.

UNITY MUSIC MINISTRY GUIDELINES
September 2009 through May 2010
There are two levels of participation possible.
Getting Involved in Music Ministry
Most of the musicians who serve with the music ministry have a history of working as professional musicians. Because our rehearsal time is limited, we do not teach musical skills. Volunteers must have mastered their instrument and/or sing with proficiency so that during rehearsal we can focus on learning the material quickly.
Please email Music Director Dana Clark with inquiries about participation in Music Ministry
