IMPORTANT Breeze update!
If you have been or would like to begin receiving text message service reminders from Prairie UU (via our church management software, Breeze) you must now opt in. You may have already done so in October, when Breeze sent out a text requesting an opt in. If so, disregard! If you did not, but would like Prairie UU texts once a week, please contact Prairie’s administrator, Katy, by email ([email protected]) and she will get you squared away. If you want to know more about these new SMS compliance requirements, you may read this article.

Justice League
There will be no Justice League meeting in December. Please mark your calendar for our next meeting: January 26, 2025.
We are focusing on organizing, networking with other UUs and interfaith groups near Denver for action related events, finding some community speakers to fill our lay-led services, and helping with voting rights efforts.
Reach out to Kathy H. with questions, or visit the Justice League’s page.
And, more from our Justice League…

Prairie UU’s Book Club
When: Monthly at 2:00PM
Where: Parker Library, The Loft
We are going to combine the November Book Club that was postponed with the January, 2025 Book Club. We will meet on Saturday, January 18th at 2:00PM in the Loft at the Parker Library. For those who may need a bit of a reminder…
The November book selection was The Passage of Power by Robert A Caro – The Years of Lyndon Johnson.
The January pick is Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese.
Both of these books are over 600 pages, so please plan accordingly.
Bring picks for the 2025 Book Club so we can start building out a reading list. Also, we can discuss changing up the meeting day/time if there is a need to do so. Please contact Sarah with any questions.

A generous offer from Joanna Shukert, of our Prairie Community…
If any of you are considering buying or selling a home, or know someone who is, I’m offering to donate half my net commission from any transaction originating from a Prairie member. The funds will be donated directly to Prairie in your name. As you know, home prices have doubled in recent years (along with real estate commissions), so I’m happy to make this offer on an ongoing basis. I’ve worked as a Denver realtor for 15 years and have been in the top 5-10% of HomeSmart agents over the past 3 years. I’d be honored to assist with any buy or sell transaction in the metro area. I also offer free advice or guidance on anything real estate related, so please reach out anytime if I can help.
Please email Joanna to learn more!
