Special Events at CUUC & Elsewhere

Mondays
8:00 am

 

Women’s Hiking Group

Please join us!
All women hikers are welcome! Come and bring friends.

We meet in our church parking lot at 8:00 a.m. each Monday. It is a wonderful way to start the week. Lots of walking and talking on beautiful trails. So far the group has hiked several of the Jeffco Open Space Parks. To date, the hikes have been fairly easy to moderate, and the conversation and laughter have been superb!

Bring your hiking gear including a light lunch or snack. Some weeks, we may have the option of stopping for lunch if you choose, so a bit of cash will come in handy. We carpool to the trailheads and kick in $1.00 each to the driver(s).

Some women have asked about bringing their dogs. Be aware there are leash requirements in the parks. Also, some may not wish to travel with our furry friends, so you may need to drive your own vehicle if Fido comes along.

So, mark your calendars and grab your gear! Just show up any week you can make it.  Hope to see many of you on Monday!

   
Wednesday Evenings, 5:30pm Meditation Group

All are welcome to meet at CUUC on Wednesdays at 5:30 P.M. for silent meditation. In the UU tradition, all meditation styles are welcome. We will begin each meeting with a short reading from a wisdom tradition, meditate in silence for twenty-five minutes, and close with a brief reading. Instruction is available for those new to meditation. For more information, please contact Amy Rowland at 303.815.5181 or amy.rowland@comcast.net.

   
  Social Activities

Please add your name to the sign up sheets in the back of the sanctuary so that we can get a head count for each event. Any questions, contact Tracy Leonard at 303.904.2015 or tsleonard@yahoo.com.

Longitude
by Dava Sobel

From Publisher's Weekly:

“While sailors can readily gauge latitude by the height of the sun or guiding stars above the horizon, the measurement of longitude bedeviled navigators for centuries, resulting in untold shipwrecks. Galileo, Isaac Newton and Edmund Halley entreated the moon and stars for help, but their astronomical methods failed. In 1714, England's Parliament offered #20,000 (equivalent to millions of dollars today) to anyone who could solve the problem. Self-educated English clockmaker John Harrison (1693-1776) found the answer by inventing a chronometer, a friction-free timepiece, impervious to pitch and roll, temperature and humidity, that would carry the true time from the home port to any destination. But Britain's Board of Longitude, a panel of scientists, naval officers and government officials, favored the astronomers over humble "mechanics" like Harrison, who received only a portion of the prize after decades of struggle. Yet his approach ultimately triumphed, enabling Britannia to rule the waves. In an enthralling gem of a book, former New York Times science reporter Sobel spins an amazing tale of political intrigue, foul play, scientific discovery and personal ambition.”

Please join us on Wednesday May 28 at 7:30pm at the church to discuss Longitude. All are welcome! Please contact Sue Zloth at zloths@q.com with any questions..  

See the list of books the book club has read and discussed since 2004 HERE.
