This Sunday’s service is online only, broadcast from the annual General Assembly of the Unitarian Universalist Association, this year’s largest North American gathering of UUs for worship. The inspired and highly recommended service will substitute for the regular UUFSMA Sunday Service produced in San Miguel.
The Reverend Gretchen Haley has an audacious ambition for the liberal church. She believes in its capacity to transform lives and our world by way of hyper-local relationships and partnerships that inspire the unleashing of courageous love. She oversees worship, community resourcing and outreach, and the intersectional work of UU justice teams. She also serves as chief of staff, and ministry leader to the UUA Board. In all of these, she is inspired by the commitment of countless people who show up to do the sometimes-messy work of the church, and who lead us to live into our mission for Northern Colorado as it grows and changes. Her ministry is infused with her relentless curiosity about most things, especially the big stuff of theology, the beauty of creation, the magic of collaboration, and the joy of pop culture...

Zoom Hosting - To continue our Zoom broadcast of Sunday Services, we are looking for several more volunteers who are available for 1 Sunday every few months. We can train anyone who has basic computer skills, and this task can be done from anywhere in the world. This requires reliable internet access and a laptop or desktop computer.
Contact: Dan Neuspiel: dneuspiel@gmail.com
Finance Committee - If you have a background and/or interest in accounting, finance, investments, banking, or a hankering to talk about money policies, please consider joining the Finance Committee that meets quarterly to make financial recommendations to the Board of Directors.
Contact: Margo Johnson: uufsma.president@gmail.com
Social Action Committee - Our Social Action Committee, which works all year to vet and monitor our Fellowship’s grantees, has a couple of vacancies available for dynamic members who like to be close to the action! We only meet once a month, typically via Zoom, and we share what each of us has learned about the nonprofits we steward. Each of us on the team feels personally enriched by the relationships we have developed with our grantees, which are prominent nonprofits that have proven themselves capable of serving those most in need. We are honored to support the wonderful things they do.
