Music Calendar

JUNE 7 - Carolyn Gauthier, Deborah Winters & Jean Michel Hure

This week we kick off our Spirit in Music Series! We believe that God is expressing in many ways in our life experience. I know that I am touched by music in a deep way that many other mediums do not come close to. With this in mind, this month we will be exploring different genres of music and exploring how each expression touches on our human and spiritual life experiences.

We begin with Carolyn Gauthier who we have seen many times over the years as a musician and also as the leader of the worship assistant team, speaking her truth on Sunday. Here is what she has to say about her upcoming talk.

“Most of us grew up listening to the music of The Beatles. I think they were Divinely inspired when they wrote many of their songs, particularly “All You Need Is Love.” On Sunday, I will give my first ever talk at Unity in Marin! We will explore three aspects of love that are key to our personal and spiritual growth. With the use of Unity principles and practical applications, we can enrich our lives and relationships on this journey of love.”

Music Ministry Team

Unity In Marin is blessed to be located in the Bay Area. We can draw upon some of the best musical and other creative talent in the world to be on our team or to be guest musicians. The extra special blessing is that most of this talent is solidly grounded in their spiritual lives and embrace the Unity teachings.

Désirée Goyette-Bogas, Director

Désirée Goyette, Music Director, is a Grammy nominated songwriter and performer. She provides the leadership to both build and lead the team; and to attract outstanding guest musicians. We also have an added bonus in that her writer-performer husband, Ed Bogas, often collaborates for special music. For more about Désirée and to hear and buy her music, go to Désirée's Website.

Unity Voices

Carolyn Gauthier, Director of The Unity Voices, has a wide range of talents including producer, writer, singer, and she plays a pretty mean guitar.

Carolyn is also a Sunday Worship Assistant and supports an outreach music ministry through her significant role in Bread and Roses. Bread & Roses is dedicated to uplifting the human spirit by providing free, live, quality entertainment to people who live in institutions or are otherwise isolated from society.

Choir

Carmen Marie Coleman, Choir Director, has a magical way with building and directing a choir. Her special gift is taking people who say, “I don't know how to sing, but I would love to try;” and drawing out their heretofore hidden God-given talent. Carmen is also a marvelous singer and is a member of The Praise Team.

Andrew Klein, Pianist

Andrew Klein, Pianist, is an accomplished, versatile performer. He has the rare gift to be an outstanding soloist as well as having the stylistic flexibility to enhance and not overwhelm the musicians he is accompanying.
