The Pagosa Unitarian Universalist Fellowship invites you to attend a program titled Sexuality and Spirituality, with Durango visitor Anna Royer, this Sunday, February 5, for its regular service.

How do our values influence our understanding of our own and others sexuality? Join the Fellowship in reflecting on what we were taught, and on what we are teaching, about this vital dimension of being human. For a Welcoming Congregation, ongoing learning and social justice activism are vital. And yet those are only pieces of the puzzle, not the whole. How can we deepen our understanding of our sexuality in order to deepen our spiritual connection? We must dive deeper and wrestle with our own emotional and spiritual longings to create true social change.

Anna Royer has participated in the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Durango for the past three years and serves there as a volunteer Worship Associate and as a member of the LGBTQ Social Justice Team. She also attended the Pagosa Fellowship between 2005 and 2011. She draws on her life experience for this message, whether its growing up a child of the 1970s in California, serving as a case manager for homeless teens in Tucson, teaching sex education to the 9th grade wrestling team in Pagosa, or currently volunteering at the 4 Corners Rainbow Youth Center in Durango. She is a masters degree level social worker with 25 years experience working directly with youth and families who now works as a nonprofit consultant.

This program reflects the Unitarian Universalist principles of The inherent worth and dignity of every person and Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations.

The Pagosa Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is a caring, inclusive fellowship dedicated to spiritual growth, justice and serving the needs of our larger community. As a Welcoming Congregation, we invite everyone to share in our faith community. We cherish diversity and foster a safe environment for all. Enjoy refreshments and conversation after services, which are held Sundays at 10:30am in Unit B-15 of the Greenbriar Plaza. From North Pagosa Boulevard, turn onto Park Avenue; then turn into the Greenbriar Plaza, drive to the east side of the parking lot and look for the Unitarian Universalist sign, facing north.
