11:00am Service - Earth Day: Love Letters to the Future
2024-04-21 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Denver) | Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder
Ecologist Baba Dioum said, “In the end we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught.” This Earth Day we join congregations across our Pacific Western Region in reading — and writing — love letters to the future. What do you want to tell the generations ahead? What do you want to remind yourself of in the year to come about your deep love for the earth? In doing this work, we begin by imagining a hopeful, just, and thriving future – a future we are in love and relationship with – and then we set a path to work for it. Our 9:00am service on the same theme will be for all ages.

In our liberal religious tradition, the invitation of Easter isn’t to some inevitable happiness ahead of us.

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.
