UU Men's Group Meeting
2024-04-11 18:00 - 21:00 (America/Denver) | Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder
This month we are holding our UUMG mtg from 6-9 pm at UUCB rather than one of the UU Men’s home.
The format will be our typical one: 6-7 pm will be drinks and conversation, 6-7 pm will be our potluck dinner; bring your favorite dish to share. From 8-9 pm, we’ll have ‘pass the talking stick time” to give each man the option to taking a few minutes to discuss something interesting that’s happening.
I’d like four men to arrive about 5:30 to get the Emerson Room set up for us and four men to clean up and wash dish after we are done. Please let me know if you are willing to help out with these extra fun opportunities!

2024-03-31 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Denver) | Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder
In our liberal religious tradition, the invitation of Easter isn’t to some inevitable happiness ahead of us. It is instead the demanding, difficult, and deeply liberating invitation to face and weave together our grief and our celebration into the fabric of our full lives.
Gather in person or watch the livestream of the 11:00am service on our YouTube channel.
Service leaders: Music director Dr. Emily Koriath; Rev. David Schwartz; Steve Todd; and chalice lighter Nicole Ball; with music from the Choir and pianist Ella Gavlinksi.

2024-03-31 09:00 - 10:00 (America/Denver) | Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder
In our liberal religious tradition, the invitation of Easter isn’t to some inevitable happiness ahead of us. It is instead the demanding, difficult, and deeply liberating invitation to face and weave together our grief and our celebration into the fabric of our full lives. At our 9:00am service for all ages we’ll talk about how to “resurrect” our faith when it feels lost, inspired by the stories of those who saw Jesus resurrected in the Gospel writings.
Service leaders: Religious Education Director Rachel Alba; Music Director Emily Koriath; Rev. David Schwartz

Roots of Injustice, Seeds of Change Workshop
2024-03-30 14:00 - 16:00 (America/Denver) | Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder
The Tipi Raisers Volunteers and Racial Justice Ministry have joined together to bring the Toward Right Relationship with Native Peoples workshop to the community. The goal of the interactive workshop is for participants to understand the legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery as it has affected both the European colonizers and the Indigenous people of the United States since 1492. They hope to stimulate reflection, discussion, and appropriate actions toward justice, healing, and “right relationship” among all people of this land.
The program was developed in response to calls from Indigenous leaders at the United Nations and the World Council of Churches, who urge faith communities and civic organizations to repudiate the Doctrine of Discovery and support implementation of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The workshop was designed as a first step in that direction.
