Theology on Tap - Tonight! Venue change!
Theology on Tap is tonight! (and the bar we were going to go to is closed!)

Gov's Park
672 Logan St.
Denver, CO
http://govnrspark.com/home.php
We'll be discussing UUA President Peter Morales' recent message about Standing on the Side of Love.
See you tonight!

Giving Back - Food Donations Needed
Did you know that First Universalist has an ongoing food drive? We do! So bring non-perishables goods with you to Sunday services. It's a fun and easy way to give back to your community.
First U continues to collect nonperishable items for Inter-Faith Community Services Food Bank, a local provider of food for those going through difficult times. They are in desperate need of donations; particularly cold weather foods such as soups, pasta and chili. Higher food prices coupled with job losses have brought more families seeking help. Donations may be places in the barrel in the foyer by the front entry. Donations of eyeglasses and hearing aids are also accepted and appreciated.
