God Is Here
In 1978, as part of the Festival of Worship, a new hymn was commissioned from renowned hymnwriter Fred Pratt Green. That hymn, "God Is Here," has since been published in many languages and in many different hymnals, including The United Methodist Hymnal, The Presbyterian Hymnal, Christian Worship: A Lutheran Hymnal, A New Hymnal for Colleges and Schools, among many others.
Former Director of Music Russell Schulz-Widmar, commenting on "God Is Here," said, "Certainly in the area of church music at UUMC, commissioning that hymn is one of the most important things we've done."

—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“Every man of ambition has to fight his century with its own weapons. What this century worships is wealth. The God of this century is wealth. To succeed one must have wealth. At all costs one must have wealth.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
