2008	Title and Description
April 27	Honoring our Volunteers. A church built on a firm foundation will grow. Over many years, UUCB has depended on the skills and talents of our members to build our building, create our gardens, and implement our programs. Join us for a delightful morning of fun and honoring. UUCB Volunteer Coordinator Hayden Williamson created today's service and will moderate. Judith King is the Worship Associate. Margaret Scharff will be our pianist.
May 4	Bridging: A Celebration of Life Transitions. This Sunday we celebrate the transitions of our youth to young adulthood and middle school to high school through the Bridging Ceremony. Rev. Donna DiSciullo writes that through it we "realize that our youth grow up and express the hope that our youth remain with us as adults, learning from us and teaching us from the wisdom they accumulate along the way. Bridging is not just an end to a wonderful and invaluable youth program; it is also the beginning of a new and exciting time as a Unitarian Universalist adult." This is an intergenerational service and a time for children (and adults) to look ahead to their own growth and leadership in Unitarian Universalism. Don't miss "Across All Ages: A Congregational Trip in the Time Machine"! Youth advisor Jennifer Skiendziewlewski and director of Religious Education Diana Hultgren lead this heartfelt rite of passage. Kay Stevens is the worship associate. The UUCB choir will sing, directed by Margaret Scharff and accompanied on piano by Sara Parkinson.
May 11	Nurturing: What, How, and Who Nurtures? On this Mother's Day, let us focus on one aspect of "mothering" – nurturing. Each of us provides the source for nurturing our children, our church and our community. Let us tell stories of how we nurture and who nurtures. To create the world we wish, we must all accept the responsibility of supporting the development of each other, including our children. Rev. Becky Gunn will give today's reflection. Jonathan Williamson is the worship associate. Julie Post will be our pianist.
May 18	Introductory Remarks on the Joyous Struggle. The Reverend Howell K. Lind, UUCB's incoming consulting minister, is today's speaker. This morning's message will provide a snapshot glimpse into who he is, as well as focusing on the hopes and dreams in store for all of us as we begin this new consulting ministry. Rev. Becky Gunn is the worship associate. The UUCB choir will sing, directed by Margaret Scharff and accompanied on piano by Sara Parkinson. This is Compassionate UU Sunday, sponsored by the children and youth of our community. Please bring nonperishable food items to put in the baskets outside the doors of the Earth Room. Community Food Share then distributes the items to those in the greater Boulder area who are in need.
May 25	Moved by the Spirit of Justice and Love: Heterosexual Allies in the Movement for LGBT Rights. This morning's talk will focus on the importance of heterosexual allies to the movement for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights, with a particular emphasis on the unique role played by allies who offer a religious or spiritual perspective. We will touch on the motives and rewards associated with being an ally as well as on the political and psychological contributions they make to social change. Alan Davis is the worship associate. Julie Post will be our pianist. Our guest speaker is Glenda Russell, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist in private practice in Boulder who has published extensively on psychological and political issues relevant to LGBT people and their movement for social change. She has been talking with and learning from allies for well over a decade and is currently writing a book on that topic. Glenda is a member of Boulder PFLAG, Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, and she serves on the Straight for Equality advisory group for national PFLAG.
