The Annual Congregational Meeting of the First United Church of Arvada will be held on Sunday, January 28, 2024, in-person and via Zoom following our morning worship (approx. 11 am). The purpose of the meeting is to adopt the 2024 Budget, elect the officers of the church and Board members, as well as any other matters that shall properly come before the congregation. The 2023 Annual Report will be presented at the meeting. It will be sent to all those with e-mail approximately a week before the meeting. Hard copies will be mailed to those who do not have email access and also made available to others for pick-up upon request.

Chuck Clark is leading a study on Matthew Fox’s book, “Creativity: Where the Divine and Human Meet”. The class, beginning on Feb 4, will run for approximately six Sundays from 8:30 to 9:30 am. Books are available from Chuck Clark for $5. Childcare is available. “Fox believes the human creativity is what most differentiates us from other species – yet we rarely focus on it in our educational or religious institutions. Creativity is the key to our genius and beauty as a species, also to our capacity for evil. Because creativity is the key to both our genius and beauty as a species but also to our capacity for evil, we need to teach creativity and to teach ways of steering this God-like power in directions that promote love of life (biophilia) and not love of death (necrophilia). Many people undergo their most profound mystical experiences during acts of creativity but this is often left unacknowledged. What are the true sources of our creativity? What in life is not enhanced by creativity? How do we go about teaching and eliciting and nurturing creativity in ourselves and our children? How does the Holy Spirit work through us in our creative acts and processes? What is the relationship of wildness and creativity?” These are some of the topics treated in this book.
