Hello UUCC members and friends,
The American naturalist and author Edwin Way Teale once wrote “All things seem possible in May”. As we welcome the warmer weather and hope for the end of the pandemic and lockdowns, let’s strive to keep our eye on what’s possible in spring.
Thank you to everyone who attended the Zoom Hymn Sing last month – we had a great time sharing music and memories of favorite hymns, both classic and modern. Thank you as well to everyone who joined me on Zoom for Good Company’s concert celebrating the 25th anniversary of the group. Finally, many thanks to Karin Tooley, our Chancel Choir, YoUUth Choir, and Women’s Ensemble, Aaron Burkle, Steve and Geoffrey Sanford, our talented bridging youth, and everyone else who has played a part in providing music for our services over the past few weeks. This month, there will be more special music from our talented youth and adult choir members, from the multi-talented Watkins family, from members of the Cleveland Classical Guitar Society and more. Tune in to our virtual service each week for a new musical treat!
Last but not least, don’t forget that UUCC will once again host Moises Borges and his Brazilian Jazz Band along with the Mo’ Mojo Band for a fantastic parking lot concert! The event will be in our parking lot at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 29th (rain date is Sunday, May 30th) Come and sing and dance along to some wonderful music – you can stay inside your car or bring a lawn chair and enjoy the spring weather. Either way, all audience members will be expected to follow county and state recommendations for safe outdoor gatherings. Don’t miss your chance to join some old and new friends and enjoy a concert in the great outdoors!
I hope you all have a healthy and happy May and I look forward to seeing you soon!
In peace,
Mike
