Celebrating the Legacy of James Reeb – Compassion in Action

Come hear the story of UU minister Reverend James Reeb, who grew up in Casper and was tragically killed in 1965 in Selma, Alabama, while protesting in support of voting rights. Let’s also celebrate the completion of the downtown Casper James Reeb Memorial Mural and honor the people whose vision and hard work made it a reality. Youth programming is available, and conversation and refreshments follow the service. Everyone is welcome!

Poetry in Summer

Thomas Hardy said “Poetry is emotion put into measure.” Everyone is encouraged to bring a favorite poem to share – your own or a poem from a favorite poet. Childcare and youth programming are available during the service, and refreshments and conversation follow. Everyone is welcome!

Connection

Humans are social animals: We crave feeling supported, valued and connected. Sometimes connection is a heart-to-heart, spill-it-all-out talk. But sometimes it’s just a laugh-out-loud e-mail. Connection is universal human need – let’s do it! Childcare and youth programming are available during the service, and refreshments and conversation follow. Everyone is welcome!
