Suzanne Says Yes!
At the Special Congregational Meeting held on Sunday, April 20, the members of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Cheyenne overwhelmingly voted to call the Rev. Suzanne Meyer to be our Settled Minister. Soon after the meeting, the Search Committee called Suzanne. Suzanne accepted the call and will be our new settled minister. She will move to Cheyenne soon, but will not start at the church until August.
The Search Committee did a wonderful job and we thank you.
Yippee!

YOGA
A new year's resolution can be a noteworthy concept-starting off the year with a change for the better. The key is to keep your resolution from falling into an exercise in self-loathing, such as a resolution to lose 10 pounds turns into a message to yourself: "I'm fat."
This year try something different. Instead of forbidding yourself something or setting an unrealistic goal, try setting a positive intention. By setting an intention you free yourself from the guilt of unresolved resolutions. An intention praises the effort rather thank focusing on what you may be doing wrong. Examples of intentions may be: Instead of I will lose weight, try the intention, I will become conscious of why I have food cravings. Intentions can help you to open yourself to what the universe has in store for you.
Before you set your New Year's intentions try the following: Look inward: Contemplate on how you would like to feel during the year. Stay away from typical resolutions that make you feel anxious, unsettled, incomplete.
Rephrase it: Create short sentences or phrases that are easy to remember. Be careful to remain open minded and not set limitations based in fear.
Be Firm and Fair: Don't expect to change overnight. If you find that you stray from your intention, gently remind yourself to return and be firm in your resolve to do this.

Chalice Circles
Wisdom Sharing, Covenant Groups, Dialogue Circles, Small Group Ministry, Intimacy and Ultimacy are all names that different congregations use to refer to what we call Chalice Circles. The common idea is to gather in small groups where one may count on deep listening as we explore our thoughts about various topics that challenge us to find meaning in our own beliefs and experiences. The Tuesday evening and Saturday day time groups will continue to meet one time per month over the summer. If you would like to attend a group contact Lea Grubbs or Camille Furtney for more information. In the fall more groups will be available, again let Lea or Camille know if you are interested in becoming involved at that time.
