Music lifts the spirit, soothes the soul, and connects us to each other. Music Minister, Rev. Fred Albers, with the UCOP Trio (James Albright & Terry Swope), and a rotation of amazing singers provide uplifting and inspiring music for each of our Sunday Services.

In Memoriam

Danny Cox, Vocalist

“We join with so many who knew and loved Danny Cox – and to know him is to love him – as we collectively bless him into the arms of the Infinite. Danny is a force of life that transcends the distance of physical death and will fast remain alive in the hearts of so many. Danny made his transition on March 7, 2025, leaving Kansas City stunned by the absence of this larger than life talent that has graced so many stages and brightened so many lives in our city.” Rev. Jacquie Fernandez, Senior Minister

“We were blessed to have had three years of Christmas Eve services with Danny Cox, his son Joe, and grandson Jamari, along with many, many Sundays of sacred time together.

Click the link to the left to enjoy a breathtaking rendition of “I Am So Blessed” (Drucker) by Danny and Joseph, Rev. Fred and the UCOP Band. I always requested this song when Danny was on the schedule because he embodied deep gratitude as one of the most generous souls I’ve been honored to call family.” Rev. Jacquie Fernandez, Senior Minister

Molly Hammer, Vocalist
“On Tuesday November 24, 2020 our velvet voiced songbird Molly Hammer made her transition to the full radiance of Spirit. She beat cancer every day for the last 13 years with a fierce demonstration of life and faith. We are grateful to have witnessed the grace and tenacity with which Molly walked her path.  The stage of the universe is brighter today and its song sweeter knowing that in Truth, nothing is lost and she is not gone. And so it is that we will continue to be inspired by Molly’s legacy of love and music. We are as we always have been, one in Spirit.”     Rev. Jacquie Fernandez, Senior Minister

“Molly has left her indelible fingerprint on the soul of Unity Church of Overland Park. We have been changed for the better, energized by the love that she shared through her music and presence. We continue to be blessed by her eternal spirit of love and courage.”    Fred Albers, Music Director
