Join us next Sunday
June 27, 2021
Join in worship with thousands of UUs across the country during our annual gathering of congregations, General Assembly. Worship will be led by the ministry team of First Universalist Church in Minneapolis, showcasing innovation and collaboration.
This service happens on a different link than our weekly worship services, so keep an eye out for an email with the link to connect. Or feel free to join here: https://www.uua.org/ga/off-site/2021/sunday-worship

Due to COVID-19 we will be holding most of our worship services online for the foreseeable future. Over the summer we will be holding several in-person outdoor worship services on July 18 and August 8.

LOVE of neighbor is one of the fundamental teachings of the Bible. Love, however, is diametrically opposed to the concept of oppressive slavery. Hence, some people are puzzled by the mention of slavery in the Bible. In ancient times God allowed his people to own slaves. (Genesis 14:14, 15) Even in the days of the apostles, some Christians were slave owners and some were slaves. Rev. Michelle Yates presents. Drop-In Discussions are virtual! We meet 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 on the title of this description!

Midweek Meditation will return on July 14th at 11:30am. Look on the First Universalist homepage for details and a link, or click the Zoom meeting link on the title of this description!

Calling all gardeners!
Last year’s season our plants were pretty much on their own, but this new season brings safe outdoor socializing while making our church especially attractive and celebrating our interdependence in the web of life! Please contact Sarah at garden@uuroc.org if you are interested in being involved.
Please send your Joys and Sorrows to be read at our Sunday Worship service to JoysandSorrows@uuroc.org.
Note: When you email a joy or sorrow to us, you give us permission to read it aloud at Sunday service and possibly publish it in this weekly email.
Thank you!
