About the film

Filmed over eight years, Grains of Sand accompanies the filmmaker’s mother and mother-in-law — artists and close friends — as they enter their ninth decade. Through conversation, memories, and artwork, along with reflections by the filmmaker herself, they create together a positive, joyful coming-of-age story. 85 minutes.

Dear UUCB Family, We’ve had a date change for the Social Justice Council (SJC) meeting that will honor our senior graduates in the “Congrats to Grads” ceremony. An important Board meeting moved to July 8th and so our SJC meeting is moving to July 15, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. on Zoom (Zoom link sent later). Thank you to all who donated monies so far to our five “Congrats to Grads” seniors. If you are still planning on supporting our graduates financially and/or with moral support, please click the heading for ways to do that.

Dave Belden will facilitate a discussion as to how we can talk across differences, focusing on the humanity of those with whom we disagree. We’ll also welcome your suggestions as to more conservative local churches — or synagogues — whom we might partner with.

Sponsored by the World Peace Committee, The Media Literacy Workshop will be facilitated in-person in the Fireside Room by Rani Sanghera, member of Albany El Cerrito for Palestine.  The conversation will center on media literacy as it relates to Palestine and current events

August 3 – August 7, 2026
Chalice camp is a fun and meaningful week-long summer day camp for rising 1st through 6th graders. At camp, they learn values while expanding their knowledge and capacity to be articulate about what they believe. The activities during the week include energetic daily outside worship, classic childhood games, drama, art, cooking, community building, and community service based on curriculum developed by religious educators of our faith.
