ABC Family is crazy--seriously--and I almost love it

So last night I turned the tube on for background noise after a long day (and while I was doing some serious surfing) and a really sweet episode of Greek was on. Granted, I have never watched this show before, but it was pretty well written and a little edgy--as one of the main subplots was dealing with a couple of gay fraternity brothers. But the really shocking thing was the program that followed--The 700 Club. I sat there stunned at the irony. Here was Pat Robertson spouting his hate-filled rhetoric not 30 seconds after two gay college men were patching up their relationship. It was a bit jolting to say the least. But then, I guess, that money is money regardless of where it comes from, no?

UCC Spring Musical

Mark your calendars for February 11, 12 and 13 as UCC presents its annual spring musical. This year's offering is OMG II TSC. Or for those of you who are text challenged--Oh My God II The Second Coming. Last year's original OMG proved so popular that the management felt like giving you a sequel.

The show is a pastiche of songs from the musical theater that deal with spirituality or a religious journey. Karen Robu, UCC Director of Youth Ministries, complied the show and I am music directing. The VERY talented cast includes area college students and members of our congregation.

As usual, the show is being presented "dinner theater" style with a meal available in Fellowship Hall before the music.

Please call the church at 316.634.0430 for more information and for reservations.
