After a joyful, meaningful Candidating Week consisting of two services, two potlucks, a parade, and more than a dozen meet & greet Q & A sessions, UUFD voted Reverend Jamie Elaine Boyce to be our next Settled Minister on Sunday, April 28. Ninety-one members voted unanimously YES. Immediately following the vote confirmation by the Board and contract signing, members and friends erupted into a streamer-waving, resounding roar of appreciation and shouts of jubilation.

After going back to Hamilton, Ontario, to finish her current contract, Reverend Jamie will return to Durango by August 1 to settle into her new home and continue this journey forward together with the hope and promise of our faith.

We again offer our deepest gratitude to the Ministerial Search Committee, who put in hundreds of hours to bring us to this happy day.
