Our trans, genderqueer, and nonbinary siblings have long known the power of subverting expectations and honoring the divine within themselves and the earth. Whether through tarot, crystals, or earth-based ritual, many of our siblings who live on the edges of gender and sexuality find connection and meaning in subversive spirituality. Join us in worship as we explore the lessons in their journeys and experiences!
All are welcome!
Classes this week:
Library – Making Prayer Beads with Elizabeth Thorson
Sanctuary — Renewing Welcome~ Join us for a session to learn more about how we can renew our practices of welcoming LGBTQ+ folks into our congregation, as part of renewing our official status as a Welcoming Congregation with the UUA.
Social Hall — Circling the Divine: Using the Labyrinth in Spiritual Practice w/ Rev. Hannah~ Join Rev. Hannah and explore the many ways that labyrinths have been used for spiritual deepening throughout the ages. We’ll engage in labyrinth practices, too!

We still are looking for a volunteer or volunteers to assist in the sound booth on Sunday mornings. Experience is not necessary: we will train you. We do ask that you commit to a schedule; it doesn’t have to be every Sunday, but we do need to know when you can cover sound. If you or someone you know would be willing to volunteer to help us in this capacity, please contact Rev. Hannah at minister@uucheyenne.org, or Tamra Mabe, our Administrator, at 638-4554 or by email at administrator@uucheyenne.org. Thanks!

Important! Please Read!
We have been experiencing a growing issue with peanut residue in the building, especially in the library. Please, do not bring peanut products into the building, and if your little ones enjoy their peanut butter snacks before coming, please be sure their hands are clean before they touch surfaces used by everyone. We are seeing almost daily allergic reactions, so we ask you to please be diligent. It may be an inconvenience to you, but it can be life-threatening to those who are allergic.

NEW! Registration Payment Plan
Prefer smaller payments over a longer period of time? We’ve designed a payment plan just for you. When you register, simply click “payment plan” when prompted and, for as little as $50 down, you can spread out the balance of your registration over several months. Registration must be paid in full on or before February 29, 2020.
The UUA is committed to the goal of making GA accessible to as many attendees as possible. Go to uua.org/ga to learn about scholarships to support participation – particularly of those from marginalized groups – and volunteer opportunities (work in exchange for registration). The UUA is committed to addressing the inclusion of all people, whatever their abilities might be, in all GA activities. Beyond the physical accessibility of the facilities we use – ramps, captioning, seating cut-outs, etc.- we endeavor to take the next step: to truly welcome people with disabilities into every facet of GA. |
