Brown describes the work as “a sacred work for secular humanists who are into astronomy” — an oratorio that uses the incomprehensible scale of the cosmos to illuminate what is most intimately human: love\, loss\, wonder\, and interconnection. \n\n\n\nMusic Sunday is an annual tradition at MLUC in which the morning service centers entirely on music. This year’s Music Sunday marks the world premiere of a work years in the making\, created entirely within this community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE SERVICE \n\n\n\nWeekly Sunday services are at 10 a.m. \n\n\n\nA typical service will last about 60 minutes. Join us in-person or virtually on YouTube. \n\n\n\nThere is childcare available and activities for all age groups. \n\n\n\nMusic at our Sunday services draws from many sources\, ranging from traditional classical music to jazz\, folk\, world music\, klezmer\, and rock. \n\n\n\nHang around after the service to meet new people during coffee hour. \n\n\n\nLEARN MORE URL:https://mluc.org/event/sunday-service-51/ LOCATION:Main Line Unitarian Church\, 816 S.
