This Week at First Universalist

Join us next Sunday

Sept. 13, 2020

This is our first 10:30am Fall Service!

10:30am Sunday Service | Gathering At the River

Let the rivers of life flow through us, even in moments when life looks strange or different. First Universalist's annual water ceremony ingathering will tell a story of where we have been and where we are going. Please send a picture of your favorite water spot (lake, ocean, river, puddle, or wherever) to minister@uuroc.org.

Speaker: Rev. Lane Campbell

Due to COVID-19 we will be holding our worship services online

for the foreseeable future. We will hold on-line services

each Sunday at 10:30am (our regular worship time).

Upcoming Events &

Additional Announcements

Tuesdays | Drop-In Discussion: Open Topic

Now that we have "survived" summer, what is on your mind as we approach fall? Do you want to discuss the prior Sunday's sermon? Do you want to discuss something other than the upcoming election? Or do you need to get those election worries off you chest? Or is there something entirely different that we have neglected to address? Join us and let's see where our time together takes us! Drop-In Discussions are back with a virtual spin! We are meeting on Tuesday nights, from 6:30pm-7:30pm. Contact DropInDiscussion@uuroc.org for the Zoom link!

Wednesdays Beginning Sept. 9 | Midweek Meditation

First Universalist Church will be hosting Midweek Meditation services with Rev. Lane and Rev. Michelle on Wednesdays from 11:30am-Noon beginning again on September 9.

Joys & Sorrows

Please send your Joys and Sorrows to be read at our Sunday Worship service to JoysandSorrows@uuroc.org.

A Joy and Sorrow from Joyce and Dick Gilbert: We remember attending the 1963 March on Washington and hope the current march will have as positive an impact.
