Tuesday, April 15 | Drop-In Discussion: Spiritual Grounding in These Anxious Times
Side with Love, a national UU justice campaign, invites us to ground ourselves before acting. When the ground beneath is shifting, tactics and response must shift. Join Rev. Lane-Mairead in a discussion to orient ourselves to what is happening and help ground ourselves for times ahead. 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!

Friday, April 18 | 2025 Tenebrae Service
Our three Unitarian Universalist congregations in the greater Rochester area will join together for a service of mourning, remembering, and holding silence. This service honors the moment when Jesus of Nazareth died on the cross, honors the grief that the disciples felt, and gives us an opportunity to give voice to our own sense of loss. Tenebrae will be a quiet and contemplative service. This event will be held on Friday, April 18th at 7pm at First Unitarian (220 S. Winton Rd).
Saturday, April 19 | Monthly Gathering - Men's Group
First Universalist Men's Group welcomes all who identify as he/him or they/him to join us! We will meet from 10am to noon in the Clara Barton Lounge at First Universalist. We hope to see you there!
Updated Documents: "Covenant of Right Relations" & "Policy on Responsible Behavior"
The Committee on Ministry reviewed and revised our church’s “Covenant of Right Relations” and “Policy on Responsible Behavior”. These revised documents provide a structure to guide our process of conflict resolution. These documents can also be found on our website at uuroc.org/bot. We want our church to be a sanctuary in these challenging times—even as we are facing major changes ourselves. Distress around us can leak into relationships even in this community of intentional love and support. The design of the new policy is based on the Unitarian Universalist value of Love at the center of all interactions. Specific elements were developed from our own church’s previous policies as well as the work of other congregations. The documents have been approved by the Board of Trustees and other church leaders. We hope that some of you will look them over and contact any member of the committee with questions or comments. Email any one of us at com@uuroc.org.
