Meet Jane Ashley
I moved to Denver in 2018 from Arlington, Va., with my younger daughter, a dog and 2 turtles to be near my older daughter and her family. We lived in northeast Park Hill in a comfortable house. But in my first year here, I was meeting people around town who made unkind and racist comments about my new neighborhood. Having been an active UU churchgoer in Arlington, I figured I needed to get over to FUSD to find like-minded people. So I came to church. I was amazed when I heard the music — the song choices, the soloists, the choir and musicians. That’s what drew me in. Joining the choir is what sealed the deal. I had found a community, a spiritual home, and most importantly, friends.
