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!

The MDD North Plains Cluster congregations of Namaqua, Greeley, Ft. Collins, Cheyenne, Laramie, Casper and Scottsbluff have been invited to engage ourselves in a UUA initiated and grant funded workshop entitled "Having another look at our Principles and Purposes".
Congregation members will gather at Foothills UU in Ft. Collins from 9:30 to 4pm Saturday Jan. 12 for a marvelously interactive and engagingly reflective look at their relevance. How well do they speak to, engage and empower our spiritual energies for our times? Have we got them right or do these Principles & Purposes need some new touches? The UUA wants to know our thoughts.
And of course it's a given-- the natural dynamism of "clustering" our seven congregations----"clustering with our cousins" as it were will be not only a grand but a divine experience. Food will be sumptuous, ideas captivating, information and opportunities empowering, our thoughts--- generated and shared--- enobling----and-----at the margins, a silent auction of goods, creation's produce and perhaps even some adoptable church-ware needing a new home. The purpose------to generate funding for stunningly stirring endeavors of our choosing perhaps at a congregational, Cluster, District or UUA level.
SO YOU SEE THIS IS AN EVENT NOT TO MISS! Seek out a Cluster contact, sign up by Jan 6th and join us.

A major North Plains Cluster event is before us. UUs from Casper, Ft. Collins, Greeley, Laramie, Loveland,and Scottsbluff will gather at the UU Church of Cheyenne to share our sacred energies and delight in both the awesome UU happenings and ever emerging opportunities swirling about us as UUs.
Specifically the hallowedness of
- Social Justice work

- the Rx opportunities for making our planet well again as it struggles with global warming
will all be elegantly brought forth.
To be apart of all of this, plus share in the creation of new and ever bolder initiatives for the near term and beyond all lay before us as we consider the wonderful thought of "Clustering" ourselves in Cheyenne as members of the North Plains Cluster on Sat. Jan. 27th from 10-4. To spice and nourish our event even more you are encouraged to bring a Brunch/Lunch treat to share.
