Next Meeting Dec. 11th, at 10am, If you have any Questions please email Ana Schultz @ ana.shultz@yahoo.com. Sunday, Dec. 9th - “Forgiving Our Parents” Paul Gibb This Sermon is about seeing parents as imperfect human beings living in an imperfect world who likely did the best, they could under the circumstances in which they lived. Basically, it’s not focused just on fathers or just on mothers because these days, perhaps more often than before, children might be raised by just one or two mothers or just one or two fathers or even one parent and one or more grandparents. The roles of fathers and mothers are not as neatly delineated in our culture as they once were.” RE: Chapel On Winter Holidays Offering Our Plate (Living Generously) This weeks' recipient is the Weld County Humane Society. Founded in 1961, the Humane Society of Weld County opened the doors to its new facility in September 1999. This facility provides care and shelter to over 4,000 homeless and unwanted pets in our community each year. It is a priority of the Humane Society of Weld County to adopt out healthy and behaviorally sound animals to our caring community. Look for Basket in lobby for Weld County Humane Society. Their needs are : Towels, Pet Food, & Litter. Donations of items listed will be accepted Sunday Dec. 9, ONLY. Thank you! .**Now that the nomination process has begun, we hope members will consider making a nomination. Using our plate in this way will help us to grow of spiritual practice, live more meaningfully, and help heal our world. Look for Box in Foyer to make your suggestion!

These learning tours are designed to bring awareness of the increasing migrant deaths, militarization, environment degradation, the effects on habitat and the effects on sister communities by the border wall along the Mexico/U.S. Borderlands. Participants increase their understanding and knowledge of the social, economic, political and ethical significance of migration in border communities, including advocacy tools and capacity building to engage others on borderlands and migration issues. We'll also be discussing ISAAC's recent name and mission statement updates, and new ventures for our organization. Mark your calendars for this important and informative meeting. We hope to see you there! Looking for way to contribute to UUCG on Sundays?
