Upcoming Events &
Additional Announcements

Tuesday, May 5 | Fellowship Club

We invite you all to our newest gathering! No need to RSVP. No expectation to show up every time. No pressure to explain if you are late or leave early. You are always welcome. Come as you are. There is a place for you here. Coffee provided, and feel free to bring other refreshments you like. Show up, socialize, play a board game—or don't! We hope to see you there: first Tuesdays, 12-1:30pm in the Library/Clara Barton Lounge.


Tuesday, May 5 | Drop-In Discussion: Daily Walks with Andy: Homeless Outreach

Since the beginning of COVID, we have walked the streets of Rochester−same day, same place, same time, year-round. We have learned an immense amount about the neighborhoods: both the people living indoors and outdoors. Andy Carey will present. Drop-in Discussions meet via Zoom on Tuesday nights from 6:30-7:30pm. Look on the First Universalist homepage for details and a link, or click the Zoom meeting link in this blurb title!

Are you interested in learning more about our faith or becoming a member? Our Congregational Life Coordinator, Justin Wilson, and Rev. Eileen will host a discussion session via Zoom on Thursday, May 7 at 6:30pm (link at uuroc.org). This brief discussion is designed for visitors or newcomers who are looking for a general introduction to help decide if First Universalist Church would be a good match for them. We hope to see you there!


Thursday, May 7 | Eastman at Washington Square: Entre Tierra y Recuerdo (Between Homeland and Memory)

Held in our sanctuary on Thursdays, 12:15-12:45pm. Tenor Pablo Bustos and pianist Priscilla Yuen will perform the program centered on themes of memory, love, and cultural storytelling, drawing on music from Argentina, Spain, and Chile. Admission is free!
