Capitol Hill United Ministries, the Colorado Council of Churches and other Faith Leaders are working together to create a sacred gathering of reflection and prayer: holding space for both our grief and our hope, as we move through these uncertain times.

These sacred gatherings will be held at the same time in various places: homes, bars, sacred spaces, communities, congregations throughout Colorado, and even in Yosemite National Park! Encourage your family, friends, and various groups to host, or participate at one of the sites below. All are welcome!

Here are the details...

Why: Because so much is happening in our country and world that is creating shock, fear, anger, and uncertainty for so many, we believe it is critical:

• to join together as community, in reflection and/or prayer (kehillah, in Hebrew),

• to grieve together: holding space as we witness the sense of loss and uncertainty of our fellow humans; and

• to hope together: for the possibility of healing, light, and transformation.

We believe in the POWER OF COMMUNITY AND THE POWER OF ONE.

 
What this is not: This is not a time for speeches or conversation about these issues. This is not a protest... this is a time for reflection and/or prayer.
 
When: We would like to have this gathering take place at the same time, in person, in many sacred places and congregations (with an option to add Zoom, where  needed and if you have the technology), Thursday, May 1, 6:30-7:30pm MDT.
 
Where: Many places, sacred spaces, and congregations. Would you like to attend? Would your sacred space, congregation, or group be interested in hosting? For more information, click on the button above or below to sign up to participate or contact Diana Flahive, Adrian Miller, or Jill Wildenberg.

Who: All welcome, people of faith and goodwill.
