 What's happening at the UUCG? October 24th-30th
Sunday, October 30th- Addiction: Why Does It Matter To UU's? - Rev. Ruth Rinehart We live in an addictive culture. Whether or not we need freedom from alcohol and/or drugs, we walk every day in a wider world that begs escapism in addictive ways: work, money, sex, consumerism, materialism, entertainment. No shame. No guilt. Let's open our eyes and hearts. About Rev. Ruth Rinehart: She was ordained by Jefferson Unitarian Church and Boulder Valley UU Fellowship on October 9th. She preached here in January of 2015. She lives in Golden with her husband, David, on their suburban homestead, and is working to build a UU addictions ministry in the Denver area. RE: Preparation for the Multi-Gen Service Other News and Reminders Board Announcement: The board would like to make the congregation aware that Daniel Blum, our board president, has resigned from the board and from UUCG, effective immediately. We are sad about this loss. Please know that the board continues in our commitment to serving the church, and are in the process of determining steps forward. We look forward to moving into the future together. Time to Order Special Gift Cards, We will be ordering gift cards October 30.
