These Worship Times They Aren't A-Changin'!

While many changes are inevitable, and perhaps a defining characteristic of these times that are driving people to church as a place of refuge, we don't want confusion about our worship start time to be one of them.


So tell your neighbor. Tell your companion in the pew. Worship at First Universalist Rochester starts at 10:30am on Sundays ALL YEAR ROUND!
