Join our mission partner Intercambio for a reception and screening of the movie Resettled at the Boulder Library’s Canyon Theater on Jan. 30, 1:00-3:00 p.m. More than 63 million people have been forcibly displaced worldwide. As wars, famine, and political instability drive this crisis, it’s easy to feel powerless. Resettled shows another path – how the residents of Clarkston, Georgia welcome refugees and build a thriving community together. A truly uplifting movie and FREE for all!

A Capital Campaign is a fund-raising effort, typically spread over two to three years, that is separate from our annual stewardship efforts and has a specific goal and purpose. We are exploring a campaign that would boost our Capital Needs Endowment. This would ultimately enable us to fund a larger portion of our annual facilities expenses from Endowment revenue, thereby relieving pressure on our annual pledging. To learn more, please join the Capital Campaign Feasibility Committee for the Adult Forum on February 1 at 9:00 a.m. in the Standish Room.

At this year’s Symposium Rev.

In a time of social unrest and ongoing struggles for justice, how can peaceful movements create lasting change?
