The Pagosa Unitarian Universalist (UU) Fellowship will celebrate and honor the Earth this month. The much-needed rain this week enlivens us to turn our focus to a practice of gratitude.
Our motto of Make Friends – Grow Spirit – Do Good brings us together each week to share, learn, and support one another. Our Shared Values centered in love is a cornerstone for building the beloved community we aspire to.
One earth-related resource that has deep roots in the long history of leadership among faith communities is the UU Ministry for Earth (UUMFE). Its Mission states: UUMFE is a seedbed for spiritual grounding and education that inspires deep practices of Earth care, justice and flourishing for all. Along with a vision of a world in which reverence, gratitude, and care for each other and for the living Earth are central to the lives of all people; the Fellowship will focus on ways to live these aspirations into real-world practices.
Our Sunday programming begins most Sundays at 10:30 a.m. and we look forward to the end of the month when we will join the Pagosa community at the annual Earth Day celebration downtown.
You can find us in the Greenbriar Plaza, Unit B-15, 301 N. Pagosa Blvd. on the north side facing the Pagosa Peak and at our website PagosaUU.org.

A Cooperative Message About the Earth, Speaker Nicole Pitcher
This Sunday before Earth Day, it is fitting that we hear a real-world message about the Earth as well as a spiritual one. We will hear an update on the future of energy in our region and explore the spiritual challenges inherent in the transition from an extractive economy to a regenerative one.
