Theology and/or Love

Rev. Mike Morran

Join us on Sunday, February 18th at 10:30 am. This year, Unitarian Universalism will vote on whether to replace the Principles and Purposes of our faith with a new statement, one that puts Love at the center of our Purposes and Covenant. This Sunday, Rev. Mike will share some recent history of why this revision is happening, and some thoughts about a Theology of Love.

We extend a warm invitation to you to join us in person, or if you prefer, you can also participate online.

Our service streams to Youtube and Zoom (meeting ID is 466-677-668 and the password is 454623).

Join us for coffee in the Community Room after the service.

Giving in Action – Project I See You

(Thanks to Lynn Garman for the post)

Project I See You” is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower women to take ownership of their lives and create lasting positive change in their communities. We are creating a world where society is strengthened by every woman being seen, heard, and valued through a transformative exchange of service, healing, and reciprocal dignity. The organization got its start in 2009 in the Dominican Republic and expanded the work to Denver in 2013. Their most recent initiative Shared Power gives $10,000 grants to women first-time homeowners and to women-owned businesses in need of backup and support.

The goal of this meeting is to get a reoccurring monthly meeting on the calendar as well as have conversations about the future organization of our group. All young adults are welcome and encouraged to join!

Announcements

First Unitarian Stewardship Campaign Needs You!

It’s that time of the year again – our annual stewardship campaign is getting underway. This year’s theme is “Growing Together, Giving Together.” This theme expresses what we are all about.

After several years of dealing with the many challenges that occurred due to the COVID pandemic, our church community has come back together stronger and more prepared for our future. Church programs are up and running, and the sanctuary chairs are filling up each Sunday. This is the perfect time for all of us to renew our commitment to this shared community, through our willingness to contribute time and financial resources so it can thrive.

The annual stewardship campaign is the primary funding source that supports our amazing staff, building, programming and everything else that happens at First Unitarian. It’s what enables us to carry out our congregational vision – for our Church community and the critical justice work we do to support the greater Denver community.

Stewardship Sunday is scheduled for February 25th. I am asking you to think about what your volunteer and financial commitment to First Unitarian will look like for the coming year before that date. When your stewardship ambassador reaches out in late February, please connect with them. They not only want to help you through the stewardship process, they also want your feedback about First Unitarian and how we can make this community an even better source of connection, spirituality and belonging.

Let’s create a future the way our congregation always has – growing together and giving together.

If you have questions about this year’s stewardship campaign, feel free to ask your stewardship ambassador or reach out to the Stewardship Council at stewardship@fusden.org.
