Big Changes for Zoom meetings are happening behind the scenes at UU Cheyenne!
UUCC is doing some behind the scenes work to improve our Zoom capacity! This means a few important changes are here!
- Most Zoom meetings have new links and meeting IDs, including Sunday morning worship. These new Zoom meetings also have passwords to help improve our Zoom security. The password is embedded in the click to join link, and it is listed in the invitation for those who need to use it to join by phone. The password will be different for different meetings.
- If you need to schedule a meeting on Zoom, please email Tamra at administrator@uucheyenne.org to schedule use of the congregation’s Zoom. As a reminder, Tamra is in the physical office on Wednesdays and Sundays, and also working remotely on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please leave enough time for your meeting to get scheduled.
- If you are leading a meeting on Zoom, you will need to get the Host Key from Tamra in order to claim your role as the meeting host. You can go to this YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=820HxmviHfA and watch the first minute and a half to see how to use the claim host function on Zoom.

We offer many opportunities for worship and fellowship via Zoom.

Sunday Mornings with UU Cheyenne
This Sunday, June 7th
Pride Was a Riot
Is unrest destructive or productive? As protest and unrest erupt across our country, we’ll pause and reflect on the history of LGBTQ+ Pride Month, the Stonewall Riot, and how movements for liberation have dealt with police brutality and other state-sanctioned violence in our national history.

Thanks for all of you who have participated in the Friday spiritual practice sessions. For now, we’re going to stop doing them, though Wednesday night’s Going Deeper will keep going! Hopefully, we’ll start up some other spiritual practice or adult faith development opportunities soon. Thanks!

New UUCC Ministry!
Adopting a Segment of Crow Creek for Cleanup
The Committee on Shared Ministry, along with Mike Shonsey and Kathy Jenkins, have arranged for UUCC to adopt for cleanup the segment of Crow Creek that runs through Martin Luther King Park between 19th St. and Lincolnway and Missile Drive and Dey Ave. We are looking for a third person to be a contact person and active participant in the project. If you are that person, please contact Kathy – 630-3324; kathyjenkins7@gmail.com.
The city of Cheyenne requires all of those who participate in the cleanup to sign an Assumption of Risk, Waiver & Release form. Folks are not allowed to participate unless they sign the form. Mike and Kathy will bring forms for those who wish to participate to the cleanup location on the scheduled date. Mike and Kathy will also provide trash bags to all participants.
The next cleanup date is scheduled for Saturday, June 13 at 9:00 a.m. We will meet in the parking lot off Ames (south of the softball field) Participants are encouraged to wear long pants, long sleeved shirts, suitable shoes (Mike and Kathy wear muck boots, but there is plenty of cleanup that does not involve getting wet) and a sun or ball cap. Participants should also bring drinking water (it gets hot!). A tool of some sort, such as a hoe or pitchfork, is helpful for snagging trash in the creek.
Kids under 14 years of age must be accompanied and supervised by an adult.

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.
