Welcome New Member – Vanessa Johnston!
Over the last 25 years, I’ve been an active member of all the metro Denver UU congregations, depending on where I lived. I moved downtown in the summer of 2024 and was thrilled to be close enough to attend First Unitarian regularly. I have been delighted to find like-hearted spiritual seekers and dedicated activists here with whom I can grow in the community. I enjoy meeting with my monthly CORE Circle and learning with the Middle East Justice Group. I also derive a lot of satisfaction from Rev. Mike’s spiritual study groups. I raised both my children in the UU church, and my oldest is on staff at the First Unitarian Society of Germantown, PA. I currently serve as an end-of-life doula and death educator. I have been honored to present at the General Assembly and other UU gatherings about various topics related to my passion for empowerment at the end of life.
