We offer many opportunities for worship and fellowship via Zoom.
|
|
Our Zoom services can be accessed using the links below:
Sunday Worship is our traditional service setting and includes hymns, readings, and a sermon or speaker. Join us every Sunday from 10 to 11 am.
We’ve added a “coffee hour” to our Sunday services!
After our services, stay and chat with a small group. We’re experimenting on what kind of chats we can offer, and if you have an idea for a chat topic, let us know!
This Sunday April 29th: Getting In the Door
It takes a great deal of courage to show up in a new community for the first time. It takes even more to feel like you can share your authentic presence in that community. Join Rev. Hannah and our UUCC community for stories of “showing up” at UUCC this Sunday!
!!!!!!!!! ******* If you want to share your own story of crossing a threshold at UUCC (whether it’s the first time you came in the door, or the first time you really felt like you were a part of the community, or something else), you could be part of Sunday’s service! You can write your story out, or you can record a voice memo or video! Please keep it to two minutes (two hundred words) or less. We might not be able to use them all during service, but we will make them all available as part of an archive. Please email your written or recorded reflection to Rev. Hannah at minister@uucheyenne.org by noon on Friday, May 1st!

UUCC Faith Development News
Hello all!
My hope is that this note finds you and your loved ones healthy, home and practicing social distancing.
In the last few weeks our communities, our world has been in a time of change and uncertainty. Your kids and youth know that something big is going on. Take extra time together to talk about how you’re feeling. Check in with other kids and friends via Zoom or FaceTime if possible. Bringing friends together seems to really boost my spirits. Please, don’t hesitate to reach out to Rev. Hannah or myself if you find you need an ear or just a smiling face. We’re in this with you! Virtual HUGS!!!!
Mary Scherden,
Director of Faith Development, She/Her/Hers
Chair – Mountain Desert District – LREDA

UUCC SUMMER CAMP – Wondering what we might be doing this summer for Summer Camp? Keep your eyes on the announcements. Some fun new ideas are in the works!!!
************************************************************************************************
A note from our PWR/MDD Youth Leadership –
Jessica Laikeman | Youth Ministry Consultant | Camping Ministries Director writes – I am writing to you this evening with a heavy heart to let you know that due to the ongoing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, the UUA has decided to cancel ALL in-person events until September 1st, 2020. This of course includes all PWR youth summer programming (QUUest and Spirit QUUest Camps, Camp Blue Boat, and Metamorphosis Leadership Experience).
In light of this, we (Eric Bliss, Amanda Radak and the Metamorphosis event leads) are working to design a framework for a regional online PWR youth experience this July.
Watch for more information soon!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NEED some more ideas for you and your youth? Getting bored with the same routine? UUCCParents and members have collected tons of resources for parents and kids to explore virtually during our time of isolation. Please join the UUCC Faith Development Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/UUCCRE/ for more information on how to locate our extensive resource list.
Have something to add to our resource list? Post in our UUCC Facebook group or email Mary at DFD@uucheyenne.org with the information, and she’ll add it to our shared google document.

UPDATED WED APRIL 22:
Hello yoga community,
Here are the links to this week’s yoga sessions, plus some additional offerings. I have included some of the calendar links, so that you can put the classes in your calendar if that’s helpful.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, Audrey will be focusing on some of the basics of yoga practice:
~ asana, which means “position” or “pose”, and
~ pranayama, which literally means “control of the life force or life energy, and is primarily done through breathwork.
Traditionally, finding a comfortable position (asana) and focusing on the breath are initial steps in preparing the body and mind for seated meditation. For those who wish to try meditating with a group via Zoom, there is a group called the Bird and Bell Sangha that normally meditates here In Cheyenne two mornings and one evening each week. The leader, Gene Heater, said that any of you are welcome to join in, and that although they generally practice in the Zen Buddhist style, meditators of all traditions (and those new to meditation) are welcomed. Here are those links:
Bird and Bell – Tuesday Morning Meditation 7:15 465 362 885
Bird and Bell – Wednesday Meditation 6:00 pm 420 507 564

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.

Click here to see the calendar of upcoming events at UUCC!
