AUBURN — A benefit concert by Jim Scott will be held at 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 25, at the Auburn Unitarian Universalist Church. Proceeds will benefit the Brunswick Unitarian Universalist Church, which suffered heavy damage in a fire on June 6. Auburn UU will also offer a pot luck luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the vestry before the show.

Acclaimed composer and performer Jim Scott has been traveling Maine this summer offering concerts to help the Brunswick church. A longtime member of the Paul Winter Consort, Jim was co-creator of the monumental choral work Missa Gaia/Earth Mass. His musical credits includes soundtracks for PBS, a stage musical and many recordings.

Several of Scott’s songs can be found in the Auburn UU hymnals, including the much-loved “Gather the Spirit.” As a board member of the UU Ministry for the Earth, Jim helped create the “Green Sanctuary” program. With a grant from the Fund for Unitarian Universalism Jim created “The Earth and Spirit Songbook,” a collection of more than 100 songs of earth and peace. Scott has visited more than 500 UU churches in a quarter century.

Admission is on a sliding scale, from $10-20 for adults, $0-10 for kids. Auburn UU is First Universalist Church of Auburn, 169 Pleasant St. For information, call 783-0461 or visit www.auburnuu.org.
