Church Storage, Organization, and Cleanup
We are taking stock of our many stored items scattered throughout our church building and making efforts to identify, organize, and clear out spaces for new and exciting staff and programming. If you or your committee or group has items stored in the church, please contact conglife@uuroc.org so we may work with you on this housekeeping project. We are striving to keep essentials safely stored and organized, being respectful of our congregation’s contributions, while also donating or discarding accumulated items that no longer serve us. This is also a good time to review your coffee mugs in the lounge, committees’ needs going forward, and mailboxes and materials under the mailbox table in the Volunteer Office!
Tuesday, August 11 | Drop-In Discussion: Trusting in the Power of Love
Tonight we’ll watch Rev. Eileen Casey-Campbell’s sermon from February 8, 2026. Here’s what Rev. Eileen wrote about this topic: “In times like these, it can feel like love doesn't have a chance. Are we hopelessly naive to say we're not giving up on love?” John Lukes will moderate our discussion. We meet via Zoom on Tuesdays 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!
Sunday, August 16 | Social Justice Plate Offering: Mockingbird Farm Sanctuary
Our August Social Justice Plate Offering is designated for Mockingbird Farms. Mockingbird Farm Sanctuary has been a place of refuge for farm animals since its inception in 2015. Its mission is to provide lifetime sanctuary to farm animals, with donations solely benefiting direct animal care. Mockingbird Farm Sanctuary believes in treating all beings with compassion and respect, and they strive to promote a cruelty-free vegan lifestyle. Whether you are a pet lover or not, these animals are a vital part of the web of all life, and deserve our support. Please give what you can to support. Thank you! For more information, visit mockingbirdfarmny.com.
