Combined Sunday Services
at 10am with First Unitarian

Our church community will have both an in-person outdoor option with our sibling church, First Unitarian, as well as an online option over Zoom. People are invited to mask for our outdoor in-person worship services. Please join the church for either option in these combined worship services. So looking forward to this new leg of worshiping together in a pandemic world!


First Universalist will be worshipping in a hybrid format through the end of October at 10am.

Small Group Ministry Openings: Opportunities for Connection
Small Group Ministry is designed to foster connection, caring, spiritual growth and development, and to strengthen the fabric of our church community by exploring various topics.

Participants commit to attending a series of about six sessions. Sometimes, individuals continue with the same group for longer periods of time. Each group is led by a trained facilitator and will meet either via Zoom or outside in someone's yard.

Three of our Small Group Ministry groups have openings for new members starting immediately!
  • 1st and 3rd Wednesdays at 7pm
  • Every other Monday at 1pm
  • Every other Thursday at 7pm

Interested in joining a group? Take a look at the description on our website (uuroc.org) under the “Connect” tab, and complete the survey regarding your interest and availability. Email questions to Rev. Michelle at SGM@uuroc.org.
