Hello Dear People,

There is a great deal of excitement at the church right now, and it feels very promising: our wonderful new co-ministers, and the church’s strong presence at the Solano Stroll. UUCB had 50 people in the parade, the largest contingent. Both Luminescence and the Youth and Children’s Choir “marched” and then sang from a “stage.” SOUL Rising and Gamelan also offered music to the crowds of strolling people.

All this makes me think of a line from the show “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown”—

Sometimes I wake up early to watch the sunrise, and I think how beautiful it is … And I get a very positive feeling about things. Like today for instance. The sky is so clear and the sun so bright; how could anything possibly go wrong on a day like this? Of course, in the play, things do go wrong and still everything works out very happily by the end. Along the way, there is a great deal to be learned about life, and it turns out to be a lot of fun.  I hope you can come see this Theatre of the Blue Moon production, directed by Donna Davis at UUCB’s Social Hall. It is a short, heart-warming play, full of humor, with charming songs. A fundraiser for UUCB’s general fund, it is mostly about fun. And you’ll want to find out who it is in our vibrant community that has the “Face of Failure”; who dances at “Suppertime”; who conducts a survey on Crabbiness; who has a Blanket they won’t be parted from; and who loves Beethoven.  October 16, 21, 22, and 23.

Yours in harmony,

Bryan
