Gather for this two-part, all-congregational event to create a vision for the future of our building, facilitated by Rodwin Architecture.

2025-02-27 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Denver) | Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder
For those who could not attend the in-person Visioning event on Saturday 2/8, we will hold a shorter “virtual” Visioning session by Zoom. No RSVP required.
The Zoom meeting link will be shared via the weekly Messenger email and the ‘Expansion News’ email. If you wish to attend the meeting and have not received either email by Saturday 2/22, please contact our Office Administrator, Sam Henderson, at office@uuchurchofboulder.org.
If you participated in the in-person event, the architects ask that you do not “double up” by also participating in this event – unless you feel that your perspective did not get expressed or captured.
What are your hopes for the expansion of our church home? What is important that should be included? What will create a welcoming, inclusive space that meets the needs of this community? During this hour, you will share your answers to several key questions, contribute ideas on specific topics, and respond to a series of pictures and images to indicate which ones appeal to you. Participants can respond during the discussion and/or respond in the “chat” function. All ideas shared will be incorporated into the responses from the congregation that are being analyzed by our architects, who will develop early sketches for the March 8th Visioning meeting.
