For the Black Fire Recovery – Phase 1 Project

Silver City, NM, June 13, 2025—Gila National Forest officials invite the public to attend a public meeting regarding the Black Fire Recovery – Phase 1 project for disaster recovery and restoration being planned on the Black Range, Wilderness, and Silver City Ranger Districts.  The meeting will be held at the Grant County Conference Center located at 3031 US Highway 180, Silver City, New Mexico Wednesday, June 25, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

The Black Fire burned more than 327,000 acres of state, private, and Gila National Forest lands, creating a mosaic of burned and unburned stands that experienced low, moderate, and high severity wildfire. Immediately after the fire, a very strong 2022 monsoon season caused widespread flooding and erosion within the fire perimeter and downstream.

June 15, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street  – "The Science of Oneness"

Mystics and poets have told us that "All is One." However, we are faced with separation, antagonism, and conflict! In this video, science "ambassador" JD Stillwater presents findings from mainstream science that reveal an underlying holism in everything. In short, science agrees: "All is One."

Nancy Stephens will moderate a discussion after the video.

Childcare is available every Sunday. Zoey Cronin will lead a formal children's program on second and fourth Sundays. 

Children are welcome to participate on any Sunday, but they will get the most out of the program if they attend second and fourth Sundays somewhat regularly. Family adults may stay for the children's program or attend the adult program. Children are encouraged to bring a small item that represents someone or something they are grateful for that week.

There are speakers on the patio if you wish to enjoy the service outside.

UUFSC Safety Protocol as pursuant to our most recent UUA Guidelines:

Masks are now optional, but their use is encouraged. We will continue to serve refreshments on the patio and in the building. Visitors are always welcome.
