The Issue Before Us Jim Conn is urban strategist for the United Methodist Church and a longtime friend of our congregation. Jim says, Somany issues face this country that I find it difficult to choose one to unpack.

The Joke's on (U)Us What do you get when you cross a UU with a Jehovah’s Witness? Did you hear the one about the UU monastery? How about the one about the UU at the gates of heaven? At this service we’ll tip our hats to April Fool’s Day by laughing at ourselves — but we’ll also listen for how these jokes provide a perspective on our faith so that our laughter points us towards the growing edges of our UU movement. |

The Journey to Community Starts From Within Each and every one of us has a story to tell about how we became Unitarian Universalists. While our spiritual journeys may be different, the end result is we are here at UUSM. Choir member and former Board member Leonard Cachola, author of the memoir Cancer, Death, God, and Love, will talk about how telling the stories of our individual pasts can help move us to a future together in beloved community. |

The Last Man Jailed for Blasphemy Our guest speaker will tell the story of Abner Kneeland, who has been called "the most controversial character ever ordained to the Universalist ministry." He was more than "100 years ahead of his time" in his theology. He spoke out for rights for women, blacks, interracial marriage, and birth control in the 1820s. Stephan Papa, Senior Minister at the First Universalist Church of Denver, will examine Kneeland?s story, views, and myths about his ministry, and ask us how we are using our religious freedom today. Music John Petring, Horn |
