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 chat” 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 May 27th: Beyond Comprehension
Have you ever felt like people are just talking past one another? Like we might even be speaking different languages? The Christian festival of Pentecost invites us to see the possibility in these cacophonies, and we might even find some distinctly Unitarian Universalist blessing and possibility in the midst of the noise. All are welcome! (Plus, we will have a new member ceremony to welcome some new members before our Annual Meeting at 11:15!)
All are welcome!

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!

UUCC Faith Development News
Hello all!
Hello all!
I hope this note finds you all good and managing our social distancing and quarantine as well as can be hoped. We’ve all been living in such a topsy turvy world the last couple of months (seems like longer). Hang in there and please remember, I’m always available to chat or listen. Some of us are doing really well and plugging along but some people are having a rougher time. While we’re all doing what we can to stay healthy, we sometimes need another human to talk to. Please, if you need connection…. don’t hesitate to reach out.
SERIOUSLY 🙂 We’re all in this together!
Mary Scherden,
Director of Faith Development, She/Her/Hers
Chair – Mountain Desert District – LREDA

If you don’t have/use Facebook and would like an update via text or email, I can do that, send a note to me, Mary Scherden, Director of Faith Development at DFD@uucheyenne.org.

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.
