It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over
May 5, 2010
Dear Friends,
While I sense that many of you are looking ahead to all the excitement that will surely be yours in the new church year starting at the end of summer, and perhaps are wallowing now in bluebonnets or something, please do note that all sorts of things are going on at First Church in May. Check your newsletter.
If there is anything you would like to say to me, or ask me about before I leave, or would just like to chat, do drop by this Saturday morning between 10:00 and 11:15 for coffee and conversation in the Fireside Room. Would there were world enough and time to meet individually for completion conversations with each and all, but this must serve as a poor substitute.
And I must call your attention to opportunities to view an extraordinary film, and to meet the filmmaker. C Reed (the C might be for Cynthia or Coriolanus—she refuses to say) is a Texas native whose life was changed by a Unitarian minister with an unusual story. Preacher’s Sons is about the Rev. Greg Stewart of First Unitarian in San Francisco, a gay man, in a committed relationship, with five African American sons. The filmmaker, who will be available for questions and comments after each showing, was for me one of the most supportive congregants I’ve ever had the pleasure of serving. She is a delight. Do come this Saturday evening, May 8, at 7:00 p.m., or on Sunday at 12:15.
Many other worthy things likely to contribute to your life are happening here.
See you in church.
Best,
David
