Notes from Pastor AJ
I am so very thankful to all who have offered help and support these past few days. It shows the strength of our community that we have here at PrairieUU. We want you all to be reassured that in the coming days, we are here to care for each other in this community in as many ways as possible. During this time that we have suspended our in-person gatherings, I want to encourage you all to make
PrairieUU.org’s Calendar
and
Facebook page
your online guide to accessing and connecting with members of our community. We will be adding Google Meetings to every event possible for ease of access ~ Just click on the link that says “Join Hangouts Meet” or “Join by Phone.”
Though we are suspending all in-person gatherings of more than five people, meetings of five people or less may meet at their discretion, but please observe
CDC guidelines
when together.
I will ask that you also read my
PrairieUU message
from Monday (3/10) and our Special Announcement from (3/12) if you would like more information.
In Service,

From the Board
After a review of the realities of the threat of a coronavirus pandemic and concern for our Prairie UU community's safety, the Board voted unanimously to halt future in-person gatherings until further notice. Our principles teach us that we are a part of the interconnected web of life, that our actions impact the lives of those around us. We believe deeply in community care and the need to protect the most vulnerable among us. The Board members hold you all in our thoughts during this challenging time.
In covenant,
Prairie UU Board of Trustee

Committee on Shared Ministry
With respect to living in right relations, we want to ensure that we are doing our best to protect each other and remain transparent in this time of concern. Turning faithfully to our guiding UU principles, the following three resonate with us the most at this time:
1
st
: The inherent worth and dignity of every person.
2
nd
: Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations.
5
th
: The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large.
Honoring our older and other vulnerable members, the COSM fully supports the need for community care, the agreement to meet online, and other acts of love. What’s more, we welcome this opportunity to strengthen our technology skills! If you need support or know of someone who does, please contact Pastor AJ, the COSM, or the Caring Circle.
In Faith,

Community safety is so important, as is maintaining a sense of Prairie UU community and providing an opportunity to fellowship. All in-person gatherings of more than five are suspended for the time being due to the seriousness of the coronavirus. As a result, it is very important that you use the Prairie GoogleSuite email, FirstNameLastNameInitial
@prairieuu.org
(ex,
rhondaw@prairieuu.org
) email as soon as possible. This will allow you to participate fully in online meetings and other events and classes that may be held using the Google Suite applications. If you have any questions, please contact me.
Thank you,

PrairieUU should receive all mail at the PO box in Parker: PO Box 1684, Parker, CO 80134. The old mailbox on South University will be closed out in June. Since the old box is in a package store, not a post office, mail sent thereafter June will not be forwarded. This change is most important for those members who have checks for pledges sent to the old mailbox; checks for pledges should be sent to the new PO box as soon as possible.

New King Soopers Rewards Program Benefits PrairieUU
Hello, Prairie’s Super (King Sooper)Shoppers!
If you haven’t already registered your King Soopers reward card to donate funds to Prairie Unitarian Universalist Church, let’s make it happen this week!
I will be at church on February 23rd and can help answer any questions you might have, and even get you set up! I will also have brand new, shiny King Soopers cards if you want to start fresh with a new card!
(I will be wearing a King Soopers sign and tiara!)
Here’s how it works:
To Use the King Soopers or City Market Community Rewards Program:
Please visit the appropriate link below..
Once logged into your King Soopers or city market account, you can search for Prairie Unitarian Universalist Church by name or NPO (Non-profit organization) number UC596 and click enroll.
New users will need to create an account that requires some basic information, a valid email address and a loyalty card (your regular King Soopers or City Market card). We don’t always remember the password for this account—if created long ago. If forgotten, hit “forgot password” and you will be sent instructions via email on how to reset your password...Then, you’re almost there!
Once you are in your account, click on “Community Rewards Program” which is where you will select “Prairie Unitarian Universalist Church” (the organizations are listed alphabetically).
If your King Soopers loyalty card is already linked to another non-profit organization, please consider getting another card, and perhaps alternating card use for being able to donate some of your shopping rewards to Prairie as well.
*If you do not have a King Soopers or City Market loyalty card, please get one at the customer service desk at any King Soopers or City Market.
Thank YOU!
