Elizabeth and we look forward to starting our time together, we will do all we can to help you comfortably settle into life at the UUCC. Hello new friends and neighbors, I am so pleased to have arrived in Cheyenne, found a house, and settled myself and my cat into our abode in preparation for beginning my work with you! This first week was a whirlwind of meeting with some of our leaders, beginning to plan and dream together, getting my feet on the ground and my passwords on the email. I’m so ready to get back into conversation with those I met during Candidate Week, meet those who I haven’t yet, and deepen my conversations with all of you as the year progresses. This will be a year for creativity, experimentation, and getting to know one another as we begin our journey into new ministry. I hope you will come along on what we’re beginning to call our Year of YES! This means Y(our) Experimental Space, where we’ll try out new programming and formats, notice what we love and what we miss, and try not to hold too tightly to anything we’re doing, letting ourselves be informed by what is actually happening in the space and the feedback we’re getting from one another to find out what we might try next. For our experiments to work though, we need YOU! We’ll need you to try things out, and even take on leadership in one or two (but not all) of these new experiments that we are running. For example, have you always wanted to be involved in worship, but you’re not much for speaking in front of an audience? We’ll be doing ritual and activity-based worship some Sundays, so come talk to me, and let your artistic side be a part of the action! I’ll need folks to tell me directly when something is working great, or feels like a stretch, or really doesn’t work for you. Be in communication with our Shared Ministry team, the Board, and me! I look forward to a year in which we are all becoming a part of our congregation’s growth and health. With hope and delight, Rev. Elizabeth Please consider becoming a zoom volunteer. For a couple of hours, once or twice a month, you can provide live streaming of the UU services for those who may not otherwise have the opportunity to attend. If you can help contact Mike at uucc_livestream@uucheyenne.org or 307-421-4819 Family Promise is a great program that our faith community has been contributing to for many years. This valuable program needs some new coordinators. Jessica Taken has volunteered for the coordinator position and now needs volunteers to complete the team. If you are interested in becoming a member of the Family Promise team, please contact a member of the Committee on Shared Ministry. “Volunteering is an act of heroism on a grand scale. And it matters profoundly. It does more than help people beat the odds; it changes the odds.” William J.
