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 help.

Ukrainian Sponsorship Info
We need to make our voices heard. We need to tell our elected officials that Uniting for Ukraine (and similar programs that use the special type of visa called “humanitarian parole”) are legal, beneficial, and are saving lives.
This link takes you to a page for contacting your federal representatives.
You’ll want section one. Simply put in your address and the system will figure out your US representative and senators. There is a letter already written; you may send as is, or personalize it as you wish. Your message will be addressed appropriately to all three officials and sent to them from you.
Thank you for speaking out!

What are Learning Circles?
As Maya Angelou reminds us, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” This is a format where we learn together. We strive to hear every voice, provide a safe space for expressing doubts and discomfort, encourage each other, and learn in a small group setting. It is a way to deepen our relationships and our understandings.
Our goal is to build multicultural, diverse, engaged communities and work to dismantle racism and other oppressions. Antiracism Learning Circles are opportunities to do some of that work, to expose ourselves to our true history, to increase awareness of ongoing oppressions, and to explore and reveal our reactions to issues concerning race in America. We are animated by imagining “what if?” a critical mass of us are exposed to this information and knowledge.

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!
