Turn pumpkins into houses! Sign up to help us unload pumpkins on Friday, October 3rd or 10th, and sell pumpkins from Oct 4 through Halloween to raise funds for our 2025 Habitat for Humanity Home. This a super fun opportunity for kids to help out; they make the best salespeople! Costumes encouraged! Shifts are 4 hours (10AM – 2PM and 2PM – 6PM), but can be split if needed. The patches are in Arvada and Lakewood. Details and signups at the links provided:

Whether you’re beginning your writing journey or have written for years, the Creative Writers Circle is for you! Everyone is welcome to join our friendly, supportive group of folks eager to learn from, and laugh with, each other in a safe, nonjudgmental space. Not quite ready to share your work? Come anyway, we can’t wait to get to know you! Contact: Sharon Groten

To live interdependently requires that we choose to connect. In such a frought time as this, that can feel like an ask beyond our capacity. Perhaps we need to be reminded about the power of connecting with others.

Women’s Group is bringing a community event to JUC. Día De Los Muertos Celebration for all! We will be sharing some of our traditions and also providing time for you to honor your ancestors. All are welcome!

Over 8 sessions, we will have a spiritual exploration of UU Values and Covenants (with love at the center!). This is a great course to learn more about our UU theology in a nurturing space in which we listen deeply to each other’s reflections and commit to a spiritual practice.

This class will be held on the following Mondays:

Do you long for a mid-week opportunity to nourish your spirit and tend to your inner world? Do you wish we had more opportunities to sing together or chant or be in silence? Is there a part in you that would love a ritual in which you could place a stone or light a candle for all the burdens and blessings of your heart?

Dr. Baker and Rev. Wendy are creating a time to be together that centers music, silence, poetry, and ritual on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6:00pm in the Chapel.

Would you like to be involved with JUC’s Immigrant support work? Join us every other Wednesday for meetings. Please sign up so we know how many to expect. Contact: Gretchen May and June LeCrone

We gather to share a poem we have written on a chosen topic, and give gentle feedback to each other.

In September, we explored the history and theology of the Unitarians. Now let’s explore that other important but perhaps lesser-known part of our history, the Universalists! Come learn how our UU theology was shaped by the Universalist message and what it means for us today.

Welcome to the Queer Social Justice Group!

We are a group of queer people and queer allies here at JUC committed to raising awareness of issues that affect the queer community and fostering communication between queer people and our allies. We will be turning that awareness and education into action, including but not limited to, helping our unhoused find refuge and helping our queer youth find safety and community.

Join fellow JUCers for an afternoon of ecstatic drumming, and possibly dancing. No drumming experience required, no age or physical limits, beyond the ability to stay up til 8 pm.
